Woman Calls FBI After Seeing "6/6/06" Sky Banner

The mark of the beast -- sort of -- flying over the sands of Daytona Beach this week incited a wave of excitement: the fearful kind.

The most memorable moment of Terica Washington's 30th birthday Monday was looking into the sky and seeing an airplane towing a black banner with words written in white: "6/6/06 You have been warned".

She was alarmed enough to call the FBI.

"It made me feel really creepy, especially in this day and age," said Washington, who works at Ocean Walk Resort. Noting that June 6 is a Tuesday, she drew the connection to Sept. 11, 2001, also a Tuesday.

"I thought it might be terrorists," she said.

Emergency service agencies received several complaints about the banner. And the Volusia County Sheriff's Office investigated it -- and discovered Thursday the banner is promoting a new movie from Twentieth Century Fox. A remake of "The Omen" is scheduled to be released June 6.

Through a Fort Lauderdale promoter, the company producing the film released this statement, "This weekend, Twentieth Century Fox will introduce 'The Omen' to a whole new generation, telling spring breakers, You have been warned! from the sky. We're thrilled that the college students in Daytona have responded so enthusiastically to the sky banners."

The promoter was instructed to alert the local FOX affiliate, a News-Journal competitor, about the reaction.

Washington, when told the banner was a film promotion, said she thought it was "tasteless to do it that way."

"If it's a movie," she said, "at least I'll have peace of mind."

Wayne Mansfield is the owner of Aviad, who owns the four planes flying the banners in local skies and Panama City, South Padre Island, Texas, and Lake Havasu, Ariz. He's surprised his signs in the skies are creating such an uproar.

"Everywhere we are, people are jumping up and down," Mansfield said. ". . . Keep telling yourself, 'It's only a movie.' "

8. I wonder what she was drinking for her birthday

This is just bonefuck stupid. Here is a person who believes that terrorists will not only announce their attack more than 2 months in advance, but they will rent an airplane to fly a banner to announce it! We used to have a nation with people that could think...

Here's the best part: Noting that June 6 is a Tuesday, she drew the connection to Sept. 11, 2001, also a Tuesday.

Oh my God, the terrorists hate Tuesdays! Run for your lives! It's TUESDAY!

9. Ohmigawd!

Well, if the August PDB wasn't enough warning,...

[MadHound]

10. Say it isn't so

They're remaking the Omen? Why, why do they always feel the need to fuck around and remake good movies? I don't mind it when they remake crap movies, sometimes those come out better the second or third time around. But why fuck with the good movies?

Hollywood long, long ago ran out of original ideas, and thus now all they can do is keep making the same ones over and over again:eyes:

11. Holy Shit

Come to think of it...Today is TUESDAY!!!!!

Not only that it is March 2006....3/2006.

3+2+8+2+0+0+6 = 21. Minus the 8 in 28 = ELEVEN!!!!
