Title: Fortune Cookies! Post by: SINSHINE on January 09, 2005, 09:19:55 AM LOL...my wife and I were discussing whether or not to order some Chinese take out last night when she turned to me and said "what, are you hoping to get a fortune cookie with a CD release date in it?" :hihi:
For a minute there, I couldn't help but think what a clever promotional tactic that would be for CD. No? I don't know...thought it was cute....just thought I'd share it with you.

I'm so happy for you! :confused:Title: Re: Fortune Cookies! Post by: ppbebe on January 09, 2005, 11:57:02 AM So, in short, you wanted to share your happiness, No?
Thank you for all that talk how cute your dear lady is! :hihi: I have no idea what kinda cookie that Chinese fortune cookie is but it must be hell sweet. :P Title: Re: Fortune Cookies! Post by: Axl4Prez2004 on January 09, 2005, 12:12:19 PM ??? Why are you fellas pooh-poohing this idea? Talk about cheap, creative marketing for CHINESE Democracy...I love it!!! Of course it would be a small part of the ad. blitz, but definitly a cool idea. Good job Sinshine and Mrs. Sinshine. :)

Thank you for all that talk how cute your dear lady is! :hihi: I agree.. i think its really cool to hear fans sharing stuff like this it IS a cute little story its nice to have a spouse/partner.. or friends in general (off-line) who say these little GN'R related things to us to me it shows they really care about us.. when they think about things that we care about... even when they themselves are not so into it i think it makes them happy to share these little things with us ;) and oh... as far as "Fortune Cookies"... made me think about how we have 'cookies' on our computer... so an online promotion could tie in with some sort of virtual 'fortune cookies' i think that'd be cute... er... *rethinks choice of words based on some board members' inability to appreciate cute* I mean that would be um... cool... yeah... Internet Fortune Cookies like one pops up on the official site.. and you click it and out pops a little fortune cookie fortune with the date they could even make it like a game.... put a whole fuckin' screenful of fortune cookies up... and only one has the actual release date in it! the others could be 'ancient chinese sayings' or some new axl sayings ;D hehe Title: Re: Fortune Cookies!

As long as its fun and doesn't seem like too much of a gimmick if you know what I mean Title: Re: Fortune Cookies!
