New York Sarah Marshalls Say: We Hate 'Sarah Marshall' Ad Campaign. But How Many Are There Really? And What About Jason Segel's Stuff?
The [Daily News reported] that a bunch of Sarah Marshalls were not happy about the current poster ad campaign for the film [Forgetting Sarah Marshall](http://www.forgettingsarahmarshall.com/). They made it appear as if there were scores of Sarahs (and Saras) who were suffering negative effects due to the negative ad campaign with posters that are so defaming, they use words like "hate" and "suck" (of course, as kids, my mom would certainly not allow me or my siblings to utter such profanities, either).
But are there really THAT many Sarah Marshalls in the five boroughs. There are actually companies hired to vet such thingsmaking sure the use of fictional names in film and TV will not cause libel issues. So we can probably safely assume that the Sarah Marshall controversy is really just being trumped up in the usual daily tabloid way.
Using a completely unscientific process, I looked up Sarah Marshall in the online white pages and only found two in Manhattan, one in Brooklyn. Take a look at Facebook and there are three Sarah Marshalls in Westchester and only a dozen or so more around the globe. Of course this doesn't account for all the unlisted, agoraphobic, Luddite Sarah Marshalls in the world (and there must be at least a dozen of those, right?)
But really, what's all the fuss about the posters? What everyone really wonders about is what's up with[ Jason Segel's schlong]. He's nude in the film and yet no full-frontal shots on the web for curious voyeurs? Oh come on. Once this campaign has run its course (which is pretty soon), it'll be time for some viral video footage of the How I Met Your Mother actor in the buff.
