Sounds a bit goofy, but if he pulls that off I can guarantee you he could care less how nerdy he looks.

I mean, we're talking 150k for thirty days work.

I bet he could get $50k to do this.


On CNN a few weeks ago they showed a pregnant mom walking around a shopping mall with 'GoldenPalace.com' in black-paint on her belly.

Seriously.

Her shirt was short enough that her pregnant belly was sticking WAYYYY out.


This pink-bunny guy is my hero btw.

$150k??? If someone really wanted a pink bunny suit guy to walk around advertising for them, why wouldn't they just go buy a couple of bunny suits and pay college students to wear them, and pocket the $140k they saved?

I do. They won't pay 150k for this.

As said elsewhere, why not save 140k and buy your own bunny costumes and send guys out.

Because for the extra 140k you also get guarenteed coverage on CNN... which is worth it's weight in gold. I think this stunt has a media and pr value of around 90k. 150k is asking a bit mutch, but it might be worth it. The variable is if the card rooms will allow him to play in the suit with advertising for their on-line competitors, I would guess he will be escorted out of quite a few rooms. Good idea though!
