Check out this sleaziness. Just received it:

From: Patricia Chi
Subject: Radio Interview with Telstar Logistics
Hello:
I am writing on behalf of Sky Radio Network, the nation’s
leading in-flight media company, in regards to our upcoming
"America’s Innovators and Entrepreneurs" talk radio show on
American Airlines.
This special on-going radio series spotlights compelling
profiles of innovators and entrepreneurs — from the small
business owner to the large enterprise CEO — the people that
make up the backbone of business in America and are rarely
heard from. This show will feature stories of hope, ideas and
success stories in ways you’ve never heard before.
I would like to personally invite you to participate in our radio
program, which airs worldwide on American Airlines for a full
month reaching 4.2 million business and leisure travelers. There
is a small production fee to participate (see participation costs
and details below).
[…]
Our production team will produce a dynamic one-on-one
interview. Our writers will script everything in advance with
your final editorial control. Your interview will air in a
continuous loop on 29,000 American Airlines flights during
the entire month of September 2007.
Since we’re on deadline, we’re offering our last two spots on
our September 2007 edition for only $3,995 (normally $6,995).
Please note we must record your interview by May 30th and
because of our tight deadline, we need a commitment to secure
your spot no later than noon PST on Tuesday, May 15th.
Ha!~ Only $4 K!?!?!
I’d be tempted to go on the show for a prank. Make up a business and spout off fictional business ‘hope, ideas and success stories" in ways they’ve never heard before. If they are willing to sell air time, I’ll bet they ain’t picky about content.
I’d kick in a hundred bucks towards a good prank.
Thanks for making this photo available via CC license. I just used it to illustrate this post:
