Smart, or Stupid? Teenager cooks up Michael Jackson microcar tribute
Filed under: Etc., Marketing/Advertising, Celebrities
Eric Callisto read the reactions from Michael Jackson fans and decided that the city-sponsored Los Angeles memorial service wasn’t enough. So, like any web entrepreneur the Logansport, Indiana native created a site to serve that outpouring.
At Ultimate MJ Tribute, fans of the King of Pop can remember him by having their names written on a Smart Fortwo. They will also get their names on the website itself, and supposedly get a personalized flower delivered to Jackson’s memorial – in that very same Smart – every year. And all for the low, low price of $10.
Of course, there are a lot of details left out: there is no information on the site about how this is all supposed to work, and site only has two real links on it, one of them to Paypal, one of them to a contact form. The other links are for Digg, Tweet, and sharing. It isn’t even clear if Mr. Callisto owns or has a Smart. And based on the worldwide reaction to MJ’s death, to pick one of the smallest cars in the world as a billboard tribute strikes us as a bit odd. But after all, an idea might be priceless, but a domain name is only a few dollars…
