That's Ok Yoda, as your high priestess...I rule that you shall never try to maintain any sort of normality...or I will strip you of your well-earned title :mauswhip:

OK, I admit that I'm stumped!!! I go away for a few hours ( to actually dive) & come back to Yoda???? Someone point me to the thread where Walter got his new name, please.....

Amber thinks I'm a creepy little green midget with big ears and 3 fingers known as Yoda.

I also think CT is a tall black vinyl clad robot sounding guy known as Darth

[Walter]

Robot sounding? James Earl Jones isn't robot sounding.

he is when he wears a giant helmet over his head!

I don't think he actually wore it, I believe he added the voice over later.

Moving back to the ad...............

I think the photos in future ads should be from our trips rather than models. It's real and you can see it's real. It was a good call. You see the diving and you see people having fun. I love the shot of Dave upside down.

Nice Ad! An I do think using members is better to give off the right impression about the group. If I saw an ad with a picture perfect, hot lookin guy in it, I'd question the motive behind the ad an find it somewhat deceptive as well.

I say continue to use members in future ads an your more likely to attract the type of person who'd make a good member.

Aha! Thanks Yoda & Amber for the clarification! And, Darth- I mean CT- well SOME people say DIR is the dark side so.....BTW, David Prowse played Vader with JEJ doing the voiceover.

Now, back on topic Stick to showing actual pics, as suggested, not models. Two fold- it's more realistic & comes accross that way & it gives recognition to your members. It's a sweet feeling indeed to be able to send a url to someone & say "That's me!" Example: That's Me!!

Glad you guys liked the ad. Thinking about new and different approaches for future ones. Maybe we'll have to feature the "Diving Divas" or something like that? I think that testimonials might be a consideration. Does anyone mind if we "quote them" in SD.com marketing efforts?

Bonus points to you for catching my subtle "Dark Side" joke...

And thanks for recognizing David Prowse. JEJ was only the voice.
