Creepy Rev3 Poster
>> Thursday, March 15, 2012
Wait... is this real?
I LIKE Rev3 - I've never done any of their races, but Pharmie had a great time when she raced Rev3 Cedar Point in 2010 (just before I knocked her up). And we're thinking about doing Rev3 Wisconsin Dells later this summer.
But that's a weird "2012" ad, right?

Absolutly. A little creepy and I stared at it cockeyed for a while, but when I remembered my taste for off color dark humor, I decided it was awesome.
Plus, I'm always down for poking fun at crazies who plan their year based on the impending apocalypse.
And their shirts were awful last year too. But, they did glow in the dark.
I do enjoy the two skeletons laying on the ground in the background. I don't think that gives the wholesome family image Rev3 would be looking for...
Wow that is creepy! haha
I think it's awesome. To each their own, I guess :)
Definitely creepy. But I think it's creepy/odd enough that it's awesome. Sorta like when something is so ugly it's cute.
It makes me think I need to buy a shack in Montana and begin prepping for the end of the world!
Definitely am feeling the "Terminator" vibe - good call. The skeleton has the whole original Terminator movie going on but then you put the kids on the poster and it jumps on over to Terminator 2 - the kid on the right is John Connor!
Then when you notice the Nuke in the background and the two other dead skeletons in the water we reach the level of totally Creepy!
OMG. They need to rethink this marketing strategy. I personally think any marketing done with a a bomb is wrong. But right now with Japan just having the 1 year anniversary of the Tsunami and still barely recovering and then the recent US shooting in Afghanistan it really sends an odd message. I'm probably overthinking it because I just finished a class on how we interpret things during was, but at a minimum it's creepy.
ya not sure i see the family fun in that poster
I love it. We are to serious about things. How is a picture "creepy"? Is a cartoon that shows Tom from Tom and Jerry being sliced into a bunch of tiny squares after running through a screen door "creepy" or just funny?
I say skeletons are cool
Even with the world coming to an end, and you as a skeleton, WTC wouldn't let you cross the finish line with your family! Rev3 will!!!
Rachet gets best comment of the day!!
But you noticed it, right?
and you did a blog post about it, right?
creepy or not, it got your attention!
I saw if the world is ending, let me go out doing a tri with some bling and my daughter!! lol
Totally creepy ad. But I hear the races are pretty AWESOME!
Win!
When I first saw it I thought pretty odd advertisement. Still not sold on it but I am racing at Cedar Point again this year.
I think it ROCKS! Have to give points for creativity!
love it!!!!
Agreed. It's just weird. But I wonder if they did it for that shock factor. You know, make something crazy so people will remember it or talk about it.
