The inmates are running the marketing asylum
Posted by Dominic Basulto
This may look like a scene from Gitmo, but it's actually a promotion for Fox's new TV show "Prison Break" in midtown Manhattan. Dead Programmer's Cafe explains:
"Right now Fox is promoting a new show, Prison Break. Recently they turned a little raised plaza in front of the Newscorp Building into a "Fox River State Penitentiary", complete with signs, a barbed wire fence, and a whole bunch of dudes in prison jumpsuits handing out nailfiles and fake tattoos with the show's logo. here were also free henna tattoos as well as free buzzcuts. I was very much surprised at how popular the buzzcuts were with the office crowd."
