Has anyone else been to the Volvo website to watch that documentry about The Mystery of Dalaro

Where allegedly 32 people bought the same model of Volvo on the same day in the Swedish town of Dalaro.

When you closed the webpage down there was a pop up message apparently from the person who filmed the documentry with his own edited footage suggesting that it was all a put up job and Volvo lied to him.

I went back to the volvo site and looked at the news bit, wondering how an independant could successfully hack into the Volvo website, onlyu to find that volvo put up this second website questioning the authenticity of The Mystery of Dalaro

Are both sites, and the second one just a cynical marketing campaign by Volvo ?

Am I playing their game by raising the issue here ?

Is The Mystery of Dalaro just a load of hooey ?

BTW on another site, which looked like a spoof site, it suggested that in Dalaro there is only one car dealership and everyone was just upgrading at the first opportunity (To put it politely)

I have read that the website of Venezeulan documentary maker is run from Sweden so it is part of the same post-modernist joke.

A bit like those 'Lucky Star' fake film trailer adverts for (Mercedes? BMW? can't remember) a while ago with Benicio Del Toro
