Fox is evil. Seriously.
April 25, 2006 ( politics )
Evidentially, billboards and airplane banners reading "6+6+06" are popping up in major metro areas:
A billboard in Chicago's Morgan Park community near the 111th Street exit of I-57 reads: "6-6-06 The signs are all around you."The mark of the beast is being used by 20th Century Fox to promote a remake of the 1976 chiller "The Omen," which will open in theaters June 6. The thriller stars Mia Farrow, Julia Stiles, newcomer Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick as the devil incarnate, and Liev Schreiber, a horror movie regular with roles in "Scream" and "Scream 2."
Banner tows and billboards have also popped up in New York, L.A., on Chicago's North Side and even in Harvey.
Spring breakers in Arizona's Lake Havasu and Panama City, Fla., spotted the "666" banner flying behind a plane and called 911, news stations and even the FBI. "The reaction confirms that the numbers 666 affect people as they have throughout history," Fox spokesman Jeffrey Godsick said.
The "Omen" campaign also includes signs and airplane banners with the menacing date and "You have been warned."
A publicity stunt, which has the extra added benefit of also stirring the 9/11 pot for their neocon friends, reminding us all about the terror threats all around us. The person who thought up trailing a banner behind an airplane reading "you have been warned" should get shot. Actually, I'm surprised that someone hasn't taken the law into their own hands and taken potshots at the plane.
