RE: UKNM: Viral & Vomit

[Mario Tilney-Bassett]

I seem to remember another chap who, if on the receipt of x million visits

to his page, would 'get laid'


The page detailed the bet with pics of his 'sure thing'


Americans eh....


But could this desperate approach be re-purposed?

Could the promise of nookie be a motivator for new media marketers?

So there's this guy called Joe, right? He's talking to his highschool

sweetheart Chrissy about the Internet, and before too long there's a bet on.

If he can actually get more than a million hits before 14th Feb 2001, she'll

marry him.


Bless.


I've seen a lot of support for this guy over the last few days, but in the

current spirit of cynicism, I am going to dare to suggest that this is a

clever viral marketing exercise by Tripod.

Either way, you can get the full story here:

http://members.tripod.com/marry_me_chrissy/


Reasons to do this:

1. It *may* actually be true (and the city of Reno needs our support).

2. You can get Chrissy's email address from the site and send her a nice

"you're too good for him" message.

3. You can truthfully say "I was there".
