Confess to Vancouver Riot Crimes... Get a Free Facial!

[elocomotive]

This is a hilarious promotion. A spa in Vancouver is offering a $50 gift certificate to anyone who admits to their role in the Vancouver riots and brings in their arrest record. Full article here.

The ad campaign is pretty brilliant...

"You didn't pay for anything at the riots. Why stop now?" asks the spa's advertisement, which features a young man in a mock Vancouver police mug shot sporting a bright green facial mask and a towel wrapped around his head.

They are going to get a ton of free press out of this.

I don't get it, I offered my wife a facial and she declined... now some dude is going to turn himself in to the police for one?

I don't get it, I offered my wife a facial and she declined...

Potentially, that's a very sticky situation; and rejection can be hard on a guy. But knowing you, I'm guessing you're able to hold your own here.
