Swimfan4u Bot Interview
by Stephen Lin, Editor in Chief
September 1, 2002 + Boston, MA

Cool Marketing Plan
Swimfan Movie - Erika ChristensenAs you're probably aware, the movie titled Swim Fan hits theaters September 6, 2002. In case you're not familiar with the premise, it essentially looks like a teen-aged online psycho-stalker type flick.

One of the marketing tools for the film is Swimfan4u.com, a site set up as if it truly were psycho Madison Bell's personal website. The most interesting marketing feature on this site is the claim that you can add Swimfan4U to your AOL buddy list.

What you'll discover when you chat with "Madison" is that you're actually interacting with a half-retarded (but entertaining) "bot" which responds to you based on what you type.

Lightbulb
The lightbulb went on and I took the opportunity to conduct an interview with this "bot" for you avid newmoanyeah readers out there. The following is the unedited interview with interspersed titles added to make it a little easier to read. Ready?

Newmoanyeah: Hello, Madison-bot!
Swimfan4u: Hello there. Whatever.
Newmoanyeah: Do you mind if we ask you a few questions for newmoanyeah?
Swimfan4u: Habits don't bother me.
Newmoanyeah: Great, let's begin.
Swimfan4u: Thx 4 ur support. sounds good to me.

Newmoanyeah: Would you stick a banana up your ass for money?
Swimfan4u: I'm not so sure if I'd like to stick a banana up your ass for money.

Swimfan4u: I'm not so sure if I'd like to stick a banana up your ass for free.
