美國(guó):海洋城幽默廣告招攬游客

A popular seaside resort in the northeastern US state of Maryland is urging tourists to book vacations now before the ocean disappears altogether.

A popular seaside resort in the northeastern US state of Maryland is urging tourists to book vacations now before the ocean disappears altogether.

Borrowing from the style of Orson Welles' 1938 radio announcement that Martians were landing on Earth, the ad features the mayor of Ocean City calling on vacationers to book "before our planet spirals to a vaporous death."

"Fellow citizens, this is Rick Meehan, mayor of Ocean City, Maryland, USA, Planet Earth," he says in the ad which appears on regional television and radio as well as on YouTube,.

"A recent study in the Royal Astronomical Society Journal predicts that our oceans will evaporate in one billion years," he says.

"This is not due to global warming but the natural effect of our Earth being dragged towards the sun, causing our beloved salt waters to just boil away.

"As such we are advising citizens to book their Ocean City getaway now, before the ocean evaporates. This may be the last chance you have to enjoy all that Ocean City, Maryland has to offer."

As the mayor ends his appeal, scenes of the beaches, fishing, tourist shops and children banging on crabs are flashed across the screen.

Donna Abbott, public relations director for the tourist spot, said the ad aims to be "humorous" and is a tongue-in-cheek appeal to urge Americans to take a vacation amid a slumping economy and spiking fuel costs.

"We understand the environment, but these days, in all the gloom and doom of the news, we want to have people take notice and realize that they need to have some fun," she said.

"We recognize these are challenging economic times with gas prices increasing and it was a reason to be very aggressive in our campaign this year to remind people they need to take a vacation."

Ocean City, renowned for its 10 mile long (16 kilometer) sandy beach, receives around eight million visitors per year.

位于美國(guó)東北部馬里蘭州的一個(gè)著名海濱度假地日前打出廣告,呼吁人們?cè)诤Q笙摆s快去那里度假。

該廣告借用了奧森·威爾斯1938年在廣播中制造“火星人入侵地球”的風(fēng)格,讓“海洋城”市長(zhǎng)在其中號(hào)召度假者們“在地球極速蒸發(fā)消亡之前”盡快預(yù)定假期。

市長(zhǎng)在廣告中說(shuō):“親愛(ài)的地球居民們,我是來(lái)自地球上的美國(guó)馬里蘭州海洋城的市長(zhǎng)里克·米安?!边@段廣告已在當(dāng)?shù)仉娕_(tái)和電視臺(tái)播放,還出現(xiàn)在YouTube網(wǎng)站上。

他說(shuō):“《皇家天文協(xié)會(huì)期刊》上的一項(xiàng)最新研究預(yù)言,我們的海洋將會(huì)在十億年后消失?!?/font>

“但這并不是全球變暖導(dǎo)致的,而是太陽(yáng)對(duì)地球的引力造成的,這種自然效應(yīng)將把我們深愛(ài)的海水都蒸發(fā)干。”

“所以我們建議大家在海洋未消失前盡快來(lái)海洋城度假。這可能是大家能在馬里蘭的海洋城享受的最后一次海濱度假的機(jī)會(huì)了?!?/font>

市長(zhǎng)話一說(shuō)完,屏幕上便閃現(xiàn)出海洋城的海灘、釣魚(yú)、游客商店,以及孩子們捉螃蟹的畫(huà)面。

該度假區(qū)的公關(guān)經(jīng)理唐娜·艾伯特說(shuō),這個(gè)廣告旨在以“幽默感”動(dòng)人,同時(shí)也是在半開(kāi)玩笑地鼓勵(lì)美國(guó)人在經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退和油價(jià)上漲的重壓下出去度個(gè)假。

她說(shuō):“我們了解目前的境況,但這些日子以來(lái),到處都是低沉沮喪的消息,所以我們想引起人們的注意,并想讓他們意識(shí)到需要出去找點(diǎn)樂(lè)子了。”

“我們認(rèn)識(shí)到,油價(jià)上漲使我們目前正面臨著經(jīng)濟(jì)困境,這也是我們今年在宣傳推廣中極力提醒人們出去度假的原因?!?/font>

“海洋城”以其綿延10英里(相當(dāng)于16公里)的海灘而聞名,每年接待約800萬(wàn)游客。
