More perceptual scoop: The Migun and Snakes on a Plane

OK, we felt sort of bad giving you that little time and date tidbit as a perceptual scoop. So here are two more quickies:

The Migun
Ever heard of the Migun Thermal Massage Bed? If not, you’re really missing out.

At least that’s what all the folks at the H&R Block on Patton Avenue say, because they’re all going to the Migun demonstration center at 900 Hendersonville Road to lay on the heated, massaging bed for 30 minutes and soak up its tension-relieving pleasures.

People are apparently going crazy for this bed. People are saying it helps with fibromyalgia, neck pain and back pain. They say they can go to the Hendersonville Road location and use the bed for 30 minutes for free. And these people are going back almost every day. They’re all into it.

Here’s what the brochure says:

“Thirty minutes on Migun Thermal Massage Bed is similar to an hour of jogging. It stimulates the tissues and nerves around the acupressure points, ‘awakening’ the muscles that are usually not exercised. It also provides therapueutic heat deep into the tissues, resulting in better blood circulation.”

So, give it a try. We’re sure going to after hearing all the glowing reviews.

‘Snakes on a Plane’

Yeah. “Snakes on a Plane.” That’s the name of the movie. It’s schlock. But its got Samuel L. Jackson starring. And it’s got snakes on a motherfucking plane.

The movie, with a plot that sounds like it was dreamed up by a couple of drunken college students (and probably was), isn’t set to hit theaters until August. But it’s already creating tremendous Internet buzz. Why? Because it’s just so frickin’ stupid. But say “Snakes on a plane. Snakes on a motherfucking plane” a few times, and you’ll start get a feel for it.

The moviemakers, in a clever bit of marketing, have gone with the flow as fans have created their own T-shirts and crap and pushed for their own bit of dialogue, which Jackson will use in the movie. He’ll say that he’s “tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!”

For all us bloggers, here’s another twist. Some dude came up with his own blog to see if he could weasel his own invite to the movie premiere. Guess what he called it. Yup; Snakes on a Blog. So this dude’s blog has caught on like crazy. He’s been interviewed on CNN and MSNBC and it looks like he’s achieved his goal – the moviemakers are indeed going to fly him to the movie premiere.
