Hal Spacejock Support Crew

Because Simon comes up with fun ideas and nobody really wants to read about my stinky dog and my smelly carpets ....

I joined Hal Spacejock's Support Crew I didn't pay anything, I didn't sign anything, and I didn't read the fine print. Just like Hal! No space pilot can exist in a vacuum (hah!), and behind every successful pilot there's a talented and dedicated support crew. Hal Spacejock is one of the least successful space pilots in the history of the galaxy, and a worldwide support crew is needed just to get him off the ground. Join now for free Hal Spacejock goodies! Join the team - - - - - - - - - Hal who?

What??
What does that little text at the bottom "unwitting participant in a viral marketing scheme" mean? When is Hal picking me up? Simon, are you sending tickets? And can my dog come?
