Squeak Group Buys Ship Naming Rights in Gaiman Novel

Posted by CowboyNeal on Saturday April 2, 2005 @06:10AM from the your-name-here dept.

nadyne writes "Recently, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund ran an auction for the naming rights for a cruise ship in Neil Gaiman's upcoming novel Anansi Boys. Today, Neil Gaiman reported in a post to his blog that Markus Gaelli won this auction. According to Neil, Markus will use his hard-won auction to promote Squeak. He didn't tell us what the name of the cruise ship will be, but promised to do so in the future. Neil linked to Squeakland, although it's not clear whether Markus is associated with that site or Neil was just using it as a convenient starting point for his readers who might not know anything about Squeak."

Squeakland.org seems to be slashdotted already for me. Anyone got a mirror, or is it just on my end ?
