When I first saw this ad in the header bar of my Gmail this evening, I was mad. I thought to myself "You've got to be kidding!" … and sure enough they are!
Now, maybe I'm just a bit humor impaired when it comes to 2012 topics, but I'm a bit conflicted by this gimmick. In the first case, they say up front that it is "gimmick" insurance, designed to finance their little pleasure cruise, so I have to give them that.
But on the downside, they're running around with a camera basically asking people what will happen (or not) in 2012. Now, maybe I'm just cynical, but I personally have had enough of uninformed and unqualified opinions on the topic of 2012.
But then, on the other hand (why do I feel like Tevye the Milkman?) after a few minutes, I found it funny.
