Gross, but Genius

Here's an article guaranteed to make you go "WTF"?

Wanna cut in line? Eat a live cockroach.

It does seem gross and bizzare, but if Six Flags has ironed out the potential legal issues (and they seem to have done), it's a brilliant marketing strategy. They'll get a lot of extra business from folks who think they can stomach a roach and get themselves free line-jumping passes...but my bet is that a lot of those hopefuls won't manage it.

They might have more trouble than they anticipate with cleaning up after the failures or spectators who have a weak stomach. You know, chewed-up bits of roach, vomit...
