Creepy or good marketing?

I check my mail cubbie today (something I actually rarely do anymore, what with all these internets having killed the postal service), and find a simple letter.

Inside is a folded napkin and a hotel room key.

Keypass


The napkin has a note that says, in what appears to be female writing:


Let�s meet�

So I�m thinking of all the times a beautiful woman has sent me a hotel room key with a note on a (perfumed) napkin.

Never.

I go to the site, and there�s a door, which I have to open.

And then I�m in some kind of restaurant.

You choose your dinner, and after a while, you see this:

Well, I suppose the whole thing is a bit creepy, especially when out of the blue, I get a follow-up email from some dude.

Creepy? Good marketing?

I suppose a bit of both.
