Title: Useless Skills? Post by: UD_Delt on January 14, 2008, 09:03:05 AM So, my wife just sent me an email. Apparently, her company (marketing) just signed a new "athlete" they are going to represent. After meeting the guy she noted that he didn't look particularly athletic, didn't have the demeanor of an athlete, and was fairly small. Her initial thought was maybe the guy was a jockey or something. So she looked him up...

He's getting a "car jumper shoe" made. He wouldn't get that if he couldn't jump cars. Title: Re: Useless Skills? Post by: Signe on January 14, 2008, 09:20:26 AM I am so confused.
Title: Re: Useless Skills? Post by: Sky on January 14, 2008, 11:30:06 AM Quote Nike is taking advantage of the publicity and selling a $130 blue and orange "car jumper" shoe. An exec was quoted off the record, "Hey, people are fucking morons. They'll eat it up. It was on tv."Hope the guy invests his 15 minutes wisely. Title: Re: Useless Skills?

Title: Re: Useless Skills? Post by: schild on January 14, 2008, 05:50:10 PM I think his game is already being made. It's called Prototype.
It's from Radical Entertainment. That's fitting, rite? Title: Re: Useless Skills? Post by: Trippy on January 14, 2008, 10:24:18 PM This is why all marketing people must die.

Title: Re: Useless Skills? Post by: Strazos on January 15, 2008, 04:48:38 PM Maybe he should get into Track and shit.
