From this WSJ article, details about a new advertising campaign for a new phone/digital camera combo. A few particularly funny passages: "In one initiative, dubbed Fake Tourist, 60 trained actors and actresses will haunt tourist attractions such as the Empire State Building in New York and the Space Needle in Seattle. Working in teams of two or three and behaving as if they were actual tourists, the actors and actresses will ask unsuspecting passersby to take their pictures." " In another scenario, two women sit at opposite ends of the bar playing an interactive version of the Battleship game on their phones." As if two hot chicks playing freaking battleship at a bar isn't going to look out of the freaking ordinary?
Damn, so some hot woman in a bar starts taking to you and showing you her phone, that's not a good sign. It seems like an interesting tactic, and I'm glad I read about it before I experienced it. Dylan, how did the wedding and honeymoon go? B
