Here’s the thing people, if you are going to release 1,000 ballons with freebies attached don’t let anyone catch wind of it. The Hungarian low cost airline Wizz Air, decided as a 5th anniversary promotion they would release a 1,000 balloons into the sky with gift vouchers worth about $50 each attached. They were hoping the balloons would drift far a field and give anyone the opportunity to find a voucher. Hmm, problem was, they left the balloons covered in a large net in the center of Budapest prior to the official release. It only took one person to spot a coupon and pop a balloon for the crowd to go wild and start attacking the net. What followed was a frenzy of people popping and snatching as many coupons as they could. By the time the press and Wizz Air CEO’s had arrived the balloons, coupons and people were gone.
How Deflating

Who cares: Intent accomplished. People got the coupons. Wasn’t that what was supposed to happen?
Oh Jammers, you were there popping them, weren’t you?
Shiissshhhh!!
I’m sure its hard to check a buisness name against all the languages in the world to make sure it isn’t slang for urinating, but maybe just going through the top 50 would be appropriate.
Good call Oma….a pissy little airline. Hmm, might be a good alternative to Delaware?
Some might imply that that’s what Delaware smells like.
So that WOULD be the perfect name alternative then.
This whole thing reminds me of the WKRP in Cincinatti episode where Herb the salesman had a helicopter drop turkeys downtown…..OH THE HUMANITY, cries Les Nessman.
Now that was a funny show….I remember growing up in a small country town and one of the locals, a Russian guy, was always trying to come up with ways of promoting the town. One year he printed off an huge amount of Australian dollars and stuck them all over a tree in the middle of town. People loved it, authorities didn’t. I guess his printing of the notes was a tad too realistic.
