Kind of funny, kind of creepy

When you follow this pizza chain on twitter, there's a chance their mascot will "follow" you in person. This is hilariously creepy. Kind of genius. Kind of funny. But mostly creepy, no?

"When the pizza restaurant chain Mellow Mushroom kicked off [its] "Follow Me and I’ll Follow You" campaign recently, it left out one slight detail: the following might end up extending beyond Twitter and into fans’ real lives. Created by Atlanta-based agency Fitzgerald+CO and directed by Arts & Science’s Adam and Dave, a new series of videos shows Twitter users going about their day, only to be ambushed by Mellow Mushroom’s mascot, a giant felt mushroom that looks like it fell out of 1967 Haight-Ashbury and into a shallow puddle of THC resin."

THAT'S TOTALLY (kind of hilariously) CREEPY!

I also just submitted this comment at the bottom of the article:
You have a typo. It should say, "When the pizza restaurant chain Mellow Mushroom kicked off ITS "Follow Me and I’ll Follow You" campaign recently,"
Its=belongs to it (no apostrophe)
It's=it is
I was really hoping I read it wrong, but the apostrophe is definitely there. *Sigh. Come on, Fast Company! I have come to rely on you for at least decent grammar!
