Who In The Hell...Sends Out The E-mail Offers For Airtran?

Hi everyone, I'm Micah. I was supposed to be contributing to this blog all along, but, well, I'm pretty difficult to motivate. You might say to Michael, the blog's creator, "Who in the hell thought Micah would contribute on a consistent enough basis to include him on this project?"

Well, I may not post every week (or even every year, we'll see how it goes), but when I saw this today, I knew it was time to go to work.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I call your attention to a "Net Escapes" email I received from AirTran Airways this evening. While I can't reprint for you the actual email itself, I can point you in the direction of the page they built for it on the AirTran website. Here's a screen capture of the promotion:

I noticed, in perusing this email, that one of the "8 Crazy Adventures" recommended by AirTran is a trip to Houston for the Houston Hot Sauce Festival, as seen here:

Hot Sauce Festival? In Houston? Count me in!

Enthused by the prospect of attending such an event (not really), and wanting to show my friend Goetz (who is from Houston) what a good time he was most likely in for by participating in said festival, I clicked through the link so I could give him some of the highlights.

To my (immense) amusement, here is the page to which I was brought:


Oops! No amateur salsa dancing competitions for Goetz!

Just to clarify, AirTran scoured the nation for the 8 choicest festivals to highlight to the millions of travelers who fly their airline - for a one-day sale no less - and 12.5% of those festivals is no more.

I guess my question is this - who the hell is sending out the email offers for AirTran?

Whoever it is, they might want to pay a little closer attention to detail next time...

Who In The Hell . . .Thought This Would Make A Huge Hit?

I have a pretty low standard for movies that I will see - let's remember that I saw, "Let's Go To Prison," "PCU," and "Cool as Ice" in the theater- so, I was blown away by the thought that Speed Racer was going to be a high end summer tent-pole movie.

Looks like I wasn't the only one, as it is getting beat badly during it's opening weekend, and it's only going to go downhill from here, as Indiana Jones is coming up quickly.

Who In The Hell . . . Is Not Creeped Out By This?

Wow, these have to be the creepiest pictures on Earth, and if you don't think so, you might have a problem.

Who In The Hell . . .Wants This Guy On Their Team

Remember Ron Artest from his Bat Shit Crazy days in Indy? Well, it seems he's still BSC and keeping them entertained in Cali.

Who in the Hell . . . UPDATE: Barney Stinson buys stuff from SkyMall magazine

To answer the question from my previous post, it is now clear that Barney Stinson of HIMYM buys stuff from SkyMall magazine. More importantly, I want to know how to get my hands on one of his awesome motivational posters. Apparently when he is stressed or feeling guilty buying these crazy gadgets helps him cope. The hot dog maker did look pretty awesome. Barney might just be on to something here! Here is the full epsiode from last week.

Who In The Hell . . . Was Hoping He'd Make It Through This?

Just saw that this guy, David "the douche" Blaine broke the world record for holding one's breath. Hopefully this stunt helped him get some friends, finally.

For those of you who love South Park - Here's the full David Blaine Episode

Who in the Hell . . . OK'd this wardrobe choice

Now, I have never actually ready the official USGA rules, but I imagine that we'll see this picture in the 2009 rules as an example of what not to wear. Although this might be what golf needs if they are trying to appeal to the whole NASCAR demographic that they are missing out on. Coming soon to a PGA tour event near you: John Daly sponsored by Marlboro, Milwaukee's Best Light (he's trying to get back in shape), and Levi's 501 jeans.
