For Those Who Fly Above.

AMAZING Marketing Stunt: Upcoming superhero film Chronicle spread the word about its release out recently by creating custom-made aircraft that resembled actual people flying around New York.  The movie has kids with flying super powers.  This is just brilliant in my opinion.  I’m sure it created tons of word-of-mouth as New Yorkers really thought they were seeing flying people.  And it’s one of those campaigns that doesn’t shove its product down your throat.  Similar to those True Blood advertisements, you have to dig a little to find out its marketing a film or TV show.  That’s the best kind of marketing.

Props to M.Cobraa for passing along - WHAT THE WHAT?!

Some fishing stories are a little hard to believe, But this guy has pictures to prove his story…

Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.
“Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed.

I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat. In all my years fishing, I’ve never seen anything quite like it!

“Once on-board, they collapsed with exhaustion, shivering. We headed for Taku Harbour. Once we reached the dock, the first 
buck that we had been pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say ‘thank you’ and disappeared into the forest.”

After a bit of prodding and assistance, two more followed, but the smallest deer needed a little more help (that’s him in the wheelbarrow).

My daughter, Anna, and son, Tim, helped the last buck to its feet. We didn’t know how long they had been in the icy waters or if there had been others who did not survive. My daughter later told me that the experience was something that she would never forget, and I suspect the deer felt the same way as well!”
