Yes...But Does He Offer Free Shipping?

In a bizarre P.T.Barnum-meets-D.B.Cooper advertising stunt, an Indonesian writer marked the release of his latest book by dumping 100 million rupiah (about $10,700) out of an airplane. 

"I want to create a rain of money in Jakarta," author and motivational speaker Tung Desem Waringin said. "It's a little bit crazy, but it's marketing."

No word if this book tour will be expanded to more cities, but I'll be keeping my eye on the Seattle sky this week.

I had this idea too, Dave, but in reverse. I'm bitterly disappointed with the results and also have a stiff neck. Colour me optimistic...
