"Uncontacted" Amazon tribe photographed after subscription blow-in air drop
They are reacting angrily to an airplane rented by Conde Nast Publications dropping cheap subscription blow-in cards to Portfolio magazine in an desperate effort to drive up subscription numbers for the next circulation audit.
"We knew that this tribe had no idea about the editorial musical chairs at our magazine or the fact that nobody is reading it in the United States," says a source close to the publisher. "We are hoping they'll be early adopters in learning about a lot of high end fashion advertisers and Wall Street blowhards nobody else seems to care about."
About three dozen highly poisonous arrows were shot at the low-flying aircraft after the subscription blow-in cards were dropped across their wooden huts.
The tribe began shouting at the plane. An uncontacted tribes expert translated the cries as "Go home big winged bird with evil news!"
As a direct marketing advertiser, I can only hope that these subscribers have toll-free calling plans and/or broadband internet access.
