‘Lost in translation’ & ‘Taken out of context’ makes the perfect marketing storm…
They were trying to get folks to look at all the new packages for destinations…
Ooops.
Reminds me of Coke & China…

I thought the worst promotional idea was win a dream weekend date with Anomaly to a Christian Mingle relationships conference?

Now that’s something I would sign up for, but I can only imagine the line will be a mile long.
