“Lady Landfill” and “Blackeye Lashes” Safe Trip Home - Dido TV Viralby Andrew Redfern @ 29th October 2008 10:56 am Mother Lay-By On the 22 of October 2008 Hit Search were the first company to spot and rubbish the recent advertisement that appeared on television for an upcoming movie called “Safe trip home” which had a mysterious one minute advert followed by a called to action saying “Google Mother Lay-By” to find out more. It turns out that the Mysterious advert was not for a film called “Safe Trip Home” but for squeaky voiced UK singer Dido and her first album in five years. Dido comments on her official site - “We’re pleased to announce that 11 short films are being produced to accompany the release of Dido’s third studio album, Safe Trip Home.

Watch the first four films at www.safetriphome.com now. Choose a location and then begin navigating your way through the films that are housed around the globe.
