If this was done by some comics nerd, than I love it. If it was done as the first part of a viral marketing campaign for the next X-men movie, then I feel so dirty that I need to take a shower immediately.
(Found by faithful correspondent Dave, on the side of a newspaper box in Central Square, Cambridge.)
Update: Duh. I completely forgot about the t-shirts that Quentin and the Omega Gang wore back in New X-Men last year (“Riot at Xavier’s”). So I guess it’s not a loathesome marketing trick after all. Maybe.
Also spotted by the Barbelites: Magneto was right (also T-shirts).
“xorn” had those posters in his classroom, too. I’m crossing my fingers… and toes.
Magneto has a posse
Viral marketing — the quickest way to a hipster’s heart is through his PDA. It’s like company X hiring your friend’s dad to brag of their offerings over dinner conversation. Why is this cool to anyone?
I. LOVE. THIS.
Where was it? I’m totally going out this evening to try to find it.
The one in the photo was peeled off the box and mailed to me, but I can only assume there are more out there, Peter. Let the hunt begin! (The hunt for the stickers, of course, not the hunts for mutants. If you hunt mutants Magneto will get all pissy.)
