Date Based Marketing

Yesterday, I saw an advert on a bus which said that the movie The Omen would be released on 6.6.06.

Later, travelling on a different bus, I saw a billboard that said Delta would begin flying to Atlanta from Edinburgh on 6th June.

I wonder if Delta spotted the date’s connotations and deliberately wrote the date longhand, or if they’re now looking at The Omen’s promotional copy and hoping that people aren’t too superstitious. Or perhaps I’m the only one who notices things like this.

6/6/6 is also the UK release date for Lordi’s "Hard Rock Hallelujhah" the single.
