iTVX.com — Hot off their viral smash first video off their ?Red? album (?Pork and
Beans?), Weezer has unveiled its second video ?Troublemaker? today and
it?s a product placement-fueled trip. Videotaped with a Guinness Book
of World Records rep on hand, the band shot an all-day video in an L.A.
parking lot to help set new records. They succeeded. Among the records
broken by fans in attendance: Longest Guitar Hero: World Tour Marathon
(it maxed over 10 hours). Largest Game of Dodgeball, Most People in a
Custard Pie Fight. The list goes on. Also of note: the video shows some
of the action being captured on a Nokia phone – the Nokia letters are
very visible throughout. A person favorite on the video: a guy in a
Crazy Eddie shirt. Classic.
