Richard Branson Has Nothing To Hide
from the oh-goodness dept
Message to Richard Branson: please, please, come up with better publicity stunts. Making fun of “corporate openness”, Branson today introduced Virgin Mobile in the US by appearing in Times Square with… nothing to hide. That’s right, he showed up nearly naked. Except for a strategically placed mobile phone, Virgin’s Chairman was in the buff, along with cast of The Full Monty on Broadway. I’m not sure about you, but the sight of a naked Richard Branson doesn’t make me want to buy a mobile phone from him. If anything, it just reminds me of the disastorous attempt by Beyond.com’s CEO to show up on CNBC naked a few years back. Where’s Beyond.com now? That’s right, they’re gone.
