This week Russian beachgoers and sunbathers got the shock of their lives as a donkey rigged to a parachute went parasailing over a resort area on the Sea Of Azov.
Apparently a marketing company had deployed the beast as part of their summer promotion to get more tourists to visit their private beach.
The plan backfired however as the bleating donkey terrified children and onlookers on the ground below it, and then landed in a nearby body of water and nearly drowned. According to reports dozens of families with crying children in tow could be seen fleeing the beach.
Actually things could have gone much worse. Here are some of the ideas for promotional stunt animals that the beach resort marketers had been kicking around before settling on their flying donkey idea.
Beulah The Roller Blading Cow
Clyde The Hang Gliding Crocodile
Ernie The Wombat Who Gets Shot Out Of A Cannon
Floyd The Pogo Sticking Giant Squid
Gary The Dirt Bike Jumping Kodiak Bear
Gus The Boogie Boarding House Cat
Harold The Unicycling Swordfish
Nesbit The Sea Doo Riding Porcupine
All in all, the parasailing donkey was probably the least cruel and potentially harmful of all of their options.
