Funny Or Die, the site for people who love comedy, is having a Twitter based hunt this Saturday, August 29th, 2009. The Los Angeles Twitter Hunt, a contest where you seek to find a person running around LA in a Funny or Die T-shirt, is to promote the Let’s Go Viral campaign.
Whoever finds them first, wins a Flip UltraHD video camera. Tease tweets will begin tonight, and the moving target will start tweeting his whereabouts on the morning of Saturday, Aug. 29 and throughout the day, as people race to find him. Follow @funnyordie to get all of the tease tweets, and hopefully, the prize.
One you find the moving target, he will immediately turn the Flip over to you and a Funny Or Die T-shirt, (hopefully not the one he was wearing all day). You will then be immortalized in a Twitpic and placed into the internetz. Good luck!
