Creative Marketing

Apparently a furniture store in Albuquerque, New Mexico, thought that the best way to attract customers to their store would be to have a pit full of alligators. They failed to realize that people might be offended or their children might be traumatized when they started to feed the alligators mice and bunny rabbits. To give them a little credit, customers were given a warning prior to tossing in the little bunnies.

While I understand the alligators need to eat, and I'm no marketing genius, I would think that this may not have been the best idea.

Since this was a family-friendly event with rides and exhibits for the kids, they might have made it a little more kid-friendly.


This would have been a little more fun to watch. Run, bunny, run!!

Note: This little bunny was Photoshopped (is this a word?) into this picture of the weird man. No bunnies were  in danger at any time in the making of this demonstration. Now that I think about it, I'm really curious about this weird man and the story behind this picture.
