Nonstop Fernando ! - New Guinness Attempt by a Sao Paulo Guy
Thursday, November 29, 2007
You think you got the gift of gab? Think again! Fernando Ferraro, a.k.a Nonstop Fernando can simply put you to shame. It was hard to believe when I heard it for the first time but after viewing the video there was no option left but to believe. The guy spoke for 14 hours 40 minutes at a stretch !! NONSTOP ! .
Its always good to be in the book of Guinness record but Fernando’s deed can probably demand not one but two of those coveted spots. First for his unique deed of continuous blabbering for that 14 hours and 40 minutes and second for being the “longest commercial ever”. Yes, Fernando’s feat was actually inspired by the launch of Emirate’s continuous flight from Sao Paolo to Dubai and that is where he picked up that not so common figure of 14 hours 40 minutes.
Emirates has been wise to pick up on Fernando’s aspiration of being on the Guinness and they have motivated him for this non stop deed. Sure this ad will create a lot of buzz if not for the message ( you get to know Sao Paolo inside out though) at least for the nature of the ad.
While a 14 hours 40 minutes ad is something that no one is going to watch at a stretch, to maintain transparency of the entire event Emirates has provided an uncut recording of the entire session on the website http://www.nonstopfernando.com/ and in addition a little technical tweaking has enabled the visitors to play that 14 hours movie from any given time by just filling in the time in the custom video player.
