OK, so it’s Easter but I still can’t help myself. You saw my post earlier in the week about dying Easter eggs, so now I guess I’ve gone back to the dark side because I am fascinated. I was driving on the freeway, stuck in traffic, SHOCKER, and I see two billboards on the side of one of LA’s biggest freeways that say “My mother always hated you Sarah Marshall” and this website address: www.ihatesarahmarshall.com . Who is Sarah Marshall? (Sorry Sarah if you’re a household name, I’ve been buried in my Automatic Millionaire book and have not caught up on my tv lately.) So I get home (I will not admit to cheating in traffic and actually entering the web address into my Treo) and check out this site and I don’t get it. I’ve checked it out a few times and now I’m blogging about it, but I still don’t get it. But it’s very clever and that’s the hook for me (as you all know.)
The site is up because of a guy named Peter Bretter and here’s what he says about himself: “Me…me, about me. Well, I’m Peter Bretter; I’m 26…a television composer who has the world’s hottest girlfriend…Sarah Marshall from TV’s CRIME SCENE. We’ve been together for five years. I’m currently writing a musical about Dracula. Yeah, yeah, I know. But that’s for another blog entry.”
So I keep going through the site and there are tons of photos of Peter, he and Sarah together before the whole thing went south. So, did this guy really date Sarah Marshall? Is this the equivalent of my blogs about “Kate Hudson not calling?” I’m kind of joking but maybe I look cuckoo too? Seriously, I am mentally stable. Anyway, if you have ANY information about Peter, the ihatesarahmarshall website or whether or not the whole thing is just a farce, I will admit my curiosity has been peaked. Peter, you’ve got a good idea going and if you really were dumped, I’m sorry about that. Hang in there but I kind of feel bad that your Mom always hated Sarah. Does your Mom know that you put that on the billboard? Goodness, mine would be peeeeeved if I wrote that on a billboard. We’ll stop now and firmly put down shovel.
This is the greatest movie advertisment I have ever seen!!! The effort put into it is fabulous. They did their job well. I can’t wait to see this movie, it looks great!
i’m pretty sure its all buzz for an upcoming movie. took the girls to see horton hears a who and there was a giant poster by the snack bar that read “your butt looks fat in those pants sarah marshall”.
crazy smart marketing.

Hi!
In case no one else has replied, there is a movie called “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” coming out in a few weeks. http://imdb.com/title/tt0800039/
It stars Kristin Bell and Peter Bretter (from How I Met Your Mother) and looks really cute!
