Paul the PR octopus


Paul the octopus doing his predicting


One of the best publicity stunts of this world championship soccer is not even made by an agency: Paul the predicting octopus. This phenomenon will certainly draw more people to Sea Life in Oberhausen than any ad campaign can ever do. This oracle octopus predicted all the matches that Germany played right, even their loss in the half final.

Today he predicted that Spain will win against Holland in the finals. Nonsense of course. But even if he's going to be wrong, the publicity stunt is already spot on.

UPDATE: Damn, the little bugger was right.
