So far we’ve seen just about every advertising method possible used… If it exists in the material realm, it’s probably been used and/or sold as advertising space:
Radio, TV, billboards, magazine pages, banner ads, the side of your car…
Or, if you want to get a bit more extreme: People selling the back of their heads on Ebay for advertising space… Once I read about that crazy little phase, I thought I had seen it all. Apparently I was wrong. VERY wrong:
I know, I know… The intent was not to have the little signs carried by the flies read so much as it was to raise awareness and to create… I’m going to say… Please forgive me… BUZZ! I’m sure they reached their goal, and that’s wonderful. But I just can’t stop thing to myself: “Just how long did it take to attach those tiny little banners to those “organic airplane replacements?” (My new term when I see a fly from now on) No real point to this post other than to share what I found interesting.

Loved it. It definitely kept my attention to the end. Makes you also wonder what new ideas will be dreamed up next. Your new term “organic airplane replacements” good one.
I am dumbfounded. Really?! Slightly genius…slightly strange. However, at least people are thinking outside of the box for new advertising ideas!
I must say that is extremely clever…if extremely time intensive. I don't know who would EVER think of something like that, but people seemed to enjoy it so it worked. And, I mean, its gone beyond just that store now as its been posted on youtube people are watching it. Remarkably successful for sure.
Ok, I got a kick out of that, i'll remember that for this summer flies are hard to find this time of year in Colorado. Those were some big flies.
