In one of the oddest cross-promotional events I've come across, a character from a 1997 Science Fiction Film is staring here in a 2009 Public Service announcement about the fight against Child Abuse
While we here at Republibot are entirely on board with both the fight against the bugs, and the fight against real-world bastards who do bad things to kids, it is kind of an odd choice to use one to promote the other, don't you think?

It's far more effective to be inscrutably odd than it is to be straightforward and coherent. Entertainment is pretty much based around this. (Look at how popular Lost is, for instance). I just thought it was too odd a cross-promotion to not show off a little bit. Much better than those enjoyably creepy Burger King viral adds...
Welcome to the site, btw, Church. Thanks for posting.

'WTF' is underappreciated- I think we plan on utilizing it sometime soon.
Welcome aboard!

It got you, and several other sites, to post it. "WTF" is an underappreciated advertising technique.
