Creative Advertising is Awesome

When I moved to Boston for school I knew that’d change, after all this is the city that’s famous for (justifiably) panicking over Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s prank. Today I finally got my first taste of some truly awesome advertising. As I walked into the George Sherman Union here at BU there was an odd bald man standing and staring out the door, strange but I continued to Starbucks. On my way I noticed about half a dozen other bald men standing just staring straight ahead. As I walked towards Starbucks one leapt forward, handed me a small bottle of Tabasco Sauce and told me that Fox’s Fringe was on tonight at 9pm. I certainly wish I were going to be around to see how Tabasco Sauce and lots of bald men have anything to do with the show.
All in all I was just excited to see some sort of fun advertising, and at least for me it was certainly an effective tactic.
re the Aqua Teen Hunger force prank: my friend at MIT found one of them before the cops did and brought it to my dorm at harvard where we proceeded to take pictures with it. it was lovely!
