ON: ASCII Is The New Black Ice

I was walking the other day on the west side of midtown and noted the big AC/DC sign at the corner of 42nd and 8th. Seems that the band’s label (Sony BMG) came up with a campaign that loads the
video for Black Ice as ASCII art within a Microsoft Excel file. Its awesome.

All you have to do is download the file and the ASCI I art mimics the motions of the real video while the song plays.

Check it out on the AC/DC website. And if you are in Time sqaure check out the AC/DC Rockband store located in the MTV Store location. To cool!
