The Mapping of Hawaii PART1 of 4

For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, watch the video below and see how long it takes for the penny to drop…
…if you’re like me it may have taken a while! A shameful two minutes if I’m honest. But before that, the barely contained grins of the cabin crew and their rather rubbery,skin tight wetsuit clothing hints at something unexpected…

Then when you realise that all four of the flight attendants and even the pilot are naked as they talk through the ‘Bare Essentials’ in-flight safety procedures, it is hilarious!

The magic lies in the brilliant realism of their painted on ‘uniform’ and relies on your ignorance of their nakedness, though it’s fascinating to watch again when their belly buttons and nipples seem quite obvious!

As many people ignore the standard in-flight advice, Air New Zealand’s aim was to get people to pay attention – which it certainly has done. And ads like this, once their on YouTube, can go viral in stratospheric proportions.
By word of mouth (like this article), building on the buzz around the ad, the company gets publicity and brand awareness for free – which is what the most successful viral campaigns try to do.

Air New Zealand have done it brilliantly. The elements of surprise, humour and subtly make the ad memorable and, in turn, the airline and what they are promoting – “the airline whose fares have nothing to hide” – quite literally!
I should think we’d all pay attention if our flight attendants were suited and booted with painted neck ties and lapels and only a life jacket to cover the, erm, cockpit. On second thoughts…

About New Zealand

New Zealand has a modern, prosperous, developed economy with an estimated GDP (PPP) of $115.624 billion (2008). The country has a relatively high standard of living with an estimated GDP per capita of $27,017 in 2008, comparable to Southern Europe. Since 2000 New Zealand has made substantial gains in median household income. New Zealand, along with Australia, largely escaped the early 2000s recession that affected most other Western countries. However GDP fell in all four quarters of 2008.

New Zealanders have a high level of life satisfaction as measured by international surveys; this is despite lower GDP per-head levels than many other OECD countries. The country was ranked 20th on the 2008 Human Development Index and 15th in The Economist’s 2005 worldwide quality-of-life index. The country was ranked 1st in life satisfaction and 5th in overall prosperity in the 2007 Legatum Institute prosperity index. In addition, the 2009 Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranked Auckland 4th place and Wellington 12th place in the world on its list. Taxation in New Zealand is lighter than in other OECD countries. New Zealand is one of the most free market capitalist economies according to economic freedom indices.

New Zealand is a country heavily dependent on free trade, particularly in agricultural products. Exports account for around 24% of its output, which is a relatively high figure (it is around 50% for many smaller European countries). This makes New Zealand particularly vulnerable to international commodity prices and global economic slowdowns. Its principal export industries are agriculture, horticulture, fishing and forestry.

James Earl Jones: The Introduction of M-USAFA: An Excerpt from The Great Pumpkin Letters

Chief Crazy Captain Christo was reflecting on his life that started sometime between September 1877 and October 1892. ( Author’s note: The exact dates are kind of hazy so if you see Chief Crazy Captain Christo don’t argue with him. He knows a lot of different spells!) But on this one particular day in the summer of 2009, the Good Chief Crazy Captain Christo was reflecting not on his own life but that of one special actor named James Earl Jones. You see, Chief Crazy Captain Christo is a huge fan of Field of Dreams. That movie with Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones about building a stadium. But Chief Crazy Captain Christo also loved the Disney animated movie The Lion King where James Earl Jones voiced the ill fated father figure Musafa. The Good Chief saw that film about 158 times. You see the Good Chief’s son, who was introduced in the piece about Sarah Palin, in a cleverly disguised word called Palindrome.

So back to James Earl Jones. On this particular fine sunny day, Chief Crazy Captain Christo decided to put two and two together to go forth with his plan. He disguised himself as The O-Range Blob of Light and went off seeking the Great James Earl Jones! We interrupt the conversation in progress….James Earl Jones can be read as JARL J ONE

O-Range Blob of Light-” Me and Mrs Jones were just discussing you Earl. And she told me you don’t play the lead role in My Name is Earl. “

J.ARL J.ONE-” SILENCE! Who are you and what do you want with my wife?”

O-Range Blob of Light-” Mufasa, you’re Home! Great, Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Chief Crazy Captain Christo and I have a production number for you if you choose to help out. I need you to be the narrator of a short film I am going to produce called ” M-USAFA”

J.ARL J.ONE-” SILENCE! My title character in the hit Disney animated film was named M-U-F-A-S-A. Mufasa”

O-Range Blob of Light-” Easy Big Dawg! I know very well your character’s name as I watched it exactly one hundred and fifty eight times!”

J.ARL J.ONE ” SILENCE, Look at the STARS….”

O-Range Blob of Light- ” Yeah I know Billions of Balls of Gas Blah Blah Blah. Now if you will just SILENCE I can explain the character of M-USAFA. OK Earl?”

J.ARL.J.ONE-” If you build it, they will come!”

O-Range Blob of Light-” Yeah, so you know what I am up to then huh Earl? I am going to try to gather together some influential people together on July 9th 2010 down in Omaha Nebraska. There I will be unveiling a plan to build a Thea-Tree-House. You know where cats known as musicians and friends can get together and jam. It will be for one little girl who has yet to be named, you know player to be named at a later date. But for the introduction of M-USAFA

J.ARL.J.ONE-” SILENCE!You know what don’t tell me. I’ll guess that you are building this Thea Tree House for one special girl because you want to introduce the world to your grandfather and father through the well thought out and intensely private affair of your family. You are using the imagery of Mufasa and turning it into M-USAFA to honor your grandfather BEAN and your father ohh what’s his name. Oh holy hair ball what’s his name?

O-Range Blob of Light- ” It begins with a B”

J.ARL.J.ONE-” SILENCE! I know what it begins with. His name is ROCK and you want to incorporate Mexican jumping BEANS on a ROCK .

O-Range Blob of Light-” You’re getting colder , Mufasa you are dying here! I’ll have to write a different Pumpkin letter dealing directly with M-USAFA. Thanks EARL! You’ve been a great help. I can see I need some character building strategies. Hey Earl one last thing, Do you have any Chalk to write with? You know so I can write and rewrite.

But there was no movement this time from James Earl Jones. It was then that Chief Crazy Captain Christo realized he had fallen asleep at the new Lion King wax museum in Arkabutla, Mississippi and missed the bus back home. Oh well, there’s a nice young man waiting at the bus stop. Maybe he can help with the story line. Chief Crazy Captain Christo went up and introduced himself.

” Life is like a box of chocholates……” His name for an upcoming edition of The Great Pumpkin Letters is none other than FO.GU.GU.( Forest Gumpty Gump) Stay tuned!
