Dr Pepper is branding an entertainment event that puts a musical band in a bubble as they cut a new album.
In a partnership with MTV, and Epic recording artist Cartel, people will get the chance to watch for 23 days as the band make its new album while sealed inside a “huge transparent bubble,” the companies said.
All the details here. No, it’s not The Onion.

Further diversion may be found at MKTG Tumblr, and the Consumed Facebook page.

Hey there,
The “band in a bubble” concept was first done (AFAIK) by Australian band Regurgitator a few years back, but also aided by MTV:

I went and saw it, and as far as corporate-sponsored spectacles go, it was pretty boring. Watching a band jam is fairly tedious.
John!
Someone was telling me about this the other day, as if it was some brilliant idea.
I actually asked them if they had read about it in The Onion. Too funny.
is david blaine involved?
