Useless Skills?

[UD_Delt]

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...

Interesting thing to be know for I guess....

That's a far from useless skill.

He's getting a "car jumper shoe" made.

He wouldn't get that if he couldn't jump cars.

I am so confused.

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.

Maybe they are trying to tap into the "Parkour" market.

He will have his own video game franchise with EA by 2009.

[schild]

I think his game is already being made. It's called Prototype.

It's from Radical Entertainment. That's fitting, rite?

This is why all marketing people must die.

Maybe they are trying to tap into the "Parkour" market.   

He needs the additional skill of being able to take a beating then.

Maybe he should get into Track and shit.

I hope he brings a scooper!
