Friday, 1:47pm - I Rarely Scream, But...

 
 
 
"OH MY GAWD!" I scream as I enter my office.

"What's wrong?" shouts my assistant from the adjoining room in a
panicky voice.

"Look outside!"

"Oooooh..."

"What's going on?" asks another person, running into the office.

"Look!" I reply, pointing at the window.

"She's gonna get arrested!"

"What is she doing?"

"There's a naked woman outside my window!"

"People are crazy in this country..."

The woman turns around.

"Oooooh..."

"That's just weird."

"Yeah, that's stupid."

"Well, she did attract our attention!"

"Not just ours! Look at all these men walking past... and then turning
around..." we laugh.

We see all sorts of people walking about in central London. Some rather
unusual, colorful, "in-your-face" outfits, accessories, and haicuts.

Nobody pays much attention.

But this was definitely an unusual sight.

It was interesting to watch the reactions of various passers-by. Most women
were not impressed. A couple of women wanted their picture taken with the
naked woman though.

A few men pretended not to notice her. But most men thought it was
funny, of course.

I had a lot of work to do so I stopped looking. (Okay, okay, I occasionally
turned around to check she was still there.)

What was the naked woman doing?

Handing out promotional leaflets.

What business for?

No idea. (No, we're not in the red-light district.)

In fact, she did attract a lot of attention. But very few people bothered
taking a flyer.

Remember those stupid ads?

                                                       SEX!

Now that I have your attention, let me tell you about XYZ Services Inc. Yada
yada yada...
Yada yada yada....

None of the "yada yada yada" actually tying in with the attention-grabbing "headline".

It's easy to get attention. It's easy to give people a story to tell. But with this sort
of gimmicks... The story may be very different from the message the "smart"
promoter is hoping to spread.

One of my colleagues hopes she'll be back on Monday though... So we can find
out a little more...;-)

All the best,

P.S.: Oh! Nearly forgot.

Did I promise a picture?

Here she is:

Is she ...?

Great coveralls, aren't they?

P.P.S.: Back to more serious topics tomorrow. Well, maybe...
