I saw that as a creative experimentation in application of networked publics to a brand. Without having been paid to research their core audience, without being paid to do a heuristic evaluation or usability analysis, I can't say whether its affective or not.
Did Skittles scuttle its brand? Time will tell

is an article by Shiv Singh over at Razorfish - and he does seem comfortable doing so - but remember when reading his blog post that it is the equivalent of asking Chris Mathews or Bret Hume to give a reasoned analysis of the Mid-East Crisis. Singh is a (SM) Networked Publics "Pundit" which means that he is not an interaction designer, design researcher, or usability specialist - he's a pundit - and just like Mathews and Hume - is welcomed to his opinion, but don't expect it to be like asking an expert on anything but his own opinion. IMHO
