kgbkgb launches tour at Mardi Gras drunken-fest

Yesterday, the briefly anticipated 'kgbkgb tour' - officially dubbed the "Burning Questions Tour" - quietly launched on the eve of Mardi Gras and on location in New Orleans! We kind of thought that a 'kgbkgb tour' would be of the 'Prilosec OTC' bus tour variety in which they'd give away something of value. But what would they give away? Free kbg_text credits? Naaaa.

It turns out the 'kgbkgb tour,' as described in the freshly minted dedicated tour blog, is a 'traveling the county' tour aimed at 'encouraging people to try [kgb's] 542542 text answer service.'

With a bus? No, but they're still carbon footprint stomping across the nation with their 'squard [sic] cars' (remember the commercial when they drove the Smart Car through an alley way of trash?). Of course, the 'squard' cars are advertisements, packed with Special Agents presumably wearing logo-ed t-shirts wandering city streets. Unlike Prilosec OTC's tour entourage, kgb's Special Agents won't be able to alleviate the heartburn that may develop when folks learn how much their product costs (kgb_text costs $0.50 per question). No wonder kgb calls it the 'Burning Questions Tour'!!!!

You have to wonder why the kgbkgb tour started at Mardi Gras, where people are drunk and in various altered mind-states. But that's Mardi Gras in New Orleans and kgb's ready for whatever comes their way. As the tour blog states:

....we’re expecting some REALLY interesting questions from the Big Easy. tAlready [sic] we’ve been asked to explain the meaning of life, how to satisfy one’s wife, and more.

They'll be leaving New Orleans in a few days to travel to other places to find out ' What Does America Really Want to Know,' which is the blog tour's title's tag line. What other places? Since you asked:

2/22/2009 - 2/24/2009 New Orleans, 2/27/2009-3/1/09 Dallas TX, 3/3/2009-3/4/09 Austin TX, 3/5/2009-3/7/09 Houston TX, 3/10/2009 Nashville TN, 3/12/2009-3/14/09 Panama City Beach FL, 3/17/2009 Tampa FL, 3/18/2009 South Beach Miami FL, 3/19/2009 Miami FL, 3/20/2009 Daytona Beach FL, 3/23/2009 Atlanta GA, 3/25/2009 Raleigh & Durham NC, 3/26/2009-3/27/09 Washington DC, 3/27/2009 Washington DC, 3/28/2009 Philadelphia PA, 3/29/2009-3/31/09 Boston MA, 4/1/2009 Hartford Ct, 4/2/2009-4/4/09 New York NY, and 4/5/2009-4/6/09 Baltimore.

Wow. Sounds exciting. Kgb's excited too:

Our team of kgb Special Agents are [sic] really excited about being here.

Jamptap are really excited too!

Oh. And it turns out they're giving away something: a Smart Car. The sweepstakes began at 2/24/09 at 12:00:01 AM, E.T, but at press time the tour blog wasn't yet configured to accept entries (where's the box to enter your phone number?). Is the sweepstakes now invalidated?
