"Spring Break: Shark Attack"
Not sure if anyone knew, but there was a tremendously awful movie on after college hoops titled "Spring Break: Shark Attack". I will give you one guess as to what it was about. If you said "Spring breakers getting attacked by sharks" then you are correct.
This wasn't the worst movie I have ever seen, but it is up there with "Welcome to Mooseport" and "2 Fast 2 Furious" and "Miracle" (it just wasn't believeable to me). I think they said the word "Spring Break" roughly 1300 hundred times before the first commercial break. It would have made one helluva drinking game had I not been hungover from 3 straight days of 10 hour boozing sessions.
But just the fact that I watched most of it, was a true testament to the effectiveness of advertisements over a 96 hour time period watching the same 6 commercials over and over. Just look at what it has done to me:
Along with watching the SB:SA last night, I went out and bought the new "Hootie and the Blowfish" that came out in 1995 after stopping for dinner at BK. I also opened up a Roth IRA with Fidelity and test drove the new G6. To make matters worse, I went into the bad part of the city with a bag of groceries, schooled some black dude in hoops, offered him a Coke and then got my ass kicked by him and his crew.
Thaaaats Good Marketing!
