Let's hope they don't do viral marketing

They might wind up wiping out entire countries. Black Death, brought to you by Absolut Vodka...

A company at a German trade show has attached incredibly tiny banner ads to house flies and set them loose on unsuspecting tradeshow visitors in a truly bizarre and possibly effective marketing stunt.

The banners, measuring just a few centimetres across, seem to cause the hapless and unwilling flies a spot of trouble. The weight keeps the flies at a lower altitude and forces them to rest more often, which means the flies end up at eye level, and whenever a fly is forced to land and refuel, the banner is clearly visible. And of course, the zigzag pattern of flight naturally attracts attention when the fly is...well, flying.

So, which company do you think will be the first to use Cockroaches to promote themselves? I'm going to put my money on payday loan companies...
