Better you than me buddy. I have this unnatural fear of sharks. You look good for being dead!

Thank you so much for this post. I received a mysterious email trying to entice me with an offer of receiving just such a jar, and I was so confused about what they were actually offering me. I wrote a post about it here: http://librarianwonder.blog...

But now, thanks to you, I know.

So can we say you've been served? Sorry had to say it. Maybe in the next life you will ironically come back as a Social Great White? Cool site though. Even the bottle you received looked like the one on the menus.

That's a pretty awesome jar of "stuff". what really got me was the pair of trunks with the upper thigh region massively bitten into. Who wore those trunks? What happened to the human and the blood that was so cleverly cleaned from them? The mystery lives on ...

Wow. That is one creative Direct Mail package. Not cheap, I'm sure. But proof you can still get DM opened if you do it right. Very targeted to big influencers. The mileage they'll get from you alone should be worth it.

FYI, Here's the team behind the jars. http://bit.ly/8YDB7

What are you accepting in lieu of flowers?

Looks like the intro to an alternate reality game (ARG) like "I love bees"...

Now that's an interesting stunt. Well I hope it's a stunt and not a threat! Strange site, but cool! I guess that developers got what they wanted and got some free advertising in return. You must have had a shock when you opened that up?

I run a pirate ship. Seems the appropriate shirt to wear. : )

Forget the shark thingy I am curious about the tee sirt with pirate exercises on it.

I just want to know why you were wearing a pirate T-shirt..
Cool graphics on the site & sound effects on that shark site.

Awesome cleverness.

Once I received a foam squishy banana in a small box. There was not return address on the box. Just the banana inside, nothing else. I put the banana above my computer. I liked it.

About one week later I received a phone call from a company I'd never heard of before. I get a little testy and challenged the lady on the phone. "Why are you calling me?"

She said, "I am the person who sent you the yellow banana!"

I did not end up buying her product but she was able to give me a 10 minute pitch for her expensive service and I had good vibes about her company's name...

Chris, sorry to learn of your untimely death. Please accept my sincere condolences. I hope you can work through this. Please let me know if I can be of assistance in any way.

That is Marketing Outrageously 2.0!

MO 1.0 is 'Marketing Outrageously: How to Increase Your Revenue by Staggering Amounts!' by Jon Spoelstra. I think this tops Jon's examples.

Definitely a clever marketing ploy and free advertisement. Just checked them out. Intriguing, but morbid. Won't let them access my Facebook account though. Good to hear all is well with you though!

Well, it's clear that we'll all have to wait til tomorrow to find out EXACTLY what the good (and, apparently, well-chewed) folks at Frenzied Waters have in store. Til then, I'm delighted to be able to add the word "yikesy" to my daily vernacular.

Oh, and terribly sorry to hear about your untimely demise. :)

Chris, you definitely need to rock those (shark bitten) shorts on the Cruise. Just for the reaction.
