"This is the big announcement that Long John Silver's has been waiting for since January - that there is evidence of a past salty sea on Mars," said Mike Baker, Chief Marketing Officer for Long John Silver's, Inc. "We can't wait to celebrate NASA's out-of-this-world success, and there's no better way to recognize their giant accomplishments than with free Giant Shrimp for America."

"We've been following the Mars Exploration project since the beginning," Davis wrote, "and we've been anxiously awaiting word of evidence of an ocean on Mars. The rovers have been extremely busy since they arrived on Mars - they've had 'plenty of things on their plate.' Now, with the discovery of ocean water, America can add one more thing to its plate - free Giant Shrimp."

Davis ended the letter by writing, "This is one small step for man, and one giant leap for Giant Shrimp." He also again expressed interest in Long John Silver's becoming the first seafood restaurant on Mars.

Baker added that the Giant Shrimp giveaway is the perfect way to celebrate NASA's historic discovery, which has taken place at the same time Long John Silver's Giant Shrimp introduction has been one of the most successful product launches in company history.

"NASA is making history on Mars and Long John Silver's is making history here on earth," added Baker. "Our faith in NASA has paid off. Their giant accomplishment calls for Giant Shrimp."

Oh, don't worry about it. The unclean food bits were in place for health reasons (pigs and trichinosis being the classic example) that modern food sterilizing make obsolete.

I am very familiar with that, they should just include thou shalt not serve unclean cruestations unless you boil them while still living. That keeps all the toxins at bay trust me....

Now whose for Dagon with a nice butter and wine sauce?

We did miss the deadline by a little bit, but I guess the executives thought it was a great marketing ploy anyway and they already had an insurance policy out to pay for it, so why not?

Yay!!! Mars exploration and free food. If sex was involved, it'd be the best combo ever.

Amsterdamn? Did you do that on purpose, or is it a typo?

One can only hope.

But then, why would we go to Amsterdam? We could go anywhere, and try to "communicate" with the friendly invaders.
