    Why not use our Miss Bermuda’s – which can use this EXPERIENCE on their Resume’s – free to Bda Government… Why does everything have to be MONEY!!

    • .am says:

      Please tell me you’re not actually serious. Hey! I know. Maybe the photographers and videographers can work for exposure and credit!

      • agree says:

        I agree with .am NEVER WORK FOR FREE! They have bills to pay and meals to eat too you know. You have to pay the people working even if the job doesn’t make sense to you!

  2. Local says:

    Sounds like a 4th grader put this together

  3. DarkSideOfTheMoon says:

    “Robust figured woman between 50-75″

    #DEAD

  4. Um Um Like says:

    Why don’t we just pay the ministers and their children to model?

    • Family Man says:

      We’re trying to ATTRACT tourists to he island, not scare them away.

  5. Adam says:

    15 people needed for 2 days at $500 a day. That’s fiteen grand for what a bunch of local kids did in their spare time and put up on YouTube last summer.

  6. Lennie says:

    Do they have to “look like me”??

    • Family Man says:

      They only want “real” Bermudians.

  7. a local photographer / videographer says:

    I wonder if Govt is ‘buying bermuda’ or using Fuseidea’s people? I guess we should be glad that local models are going to be featured…

  8. BadLuvin says:

    I think this is a GREAT idea! Everyone can use a little extra cash in this economy and using locals for a Bermuda tourism campaign just seems to make sense…Win – Win situation!

  9. K.T.B. says:

    Bermuda does have some gorgeous people, can’t wait to see how they do the ad campaign.

    • say it like it is says:

      I agree, Bermuda has some of the most beautiful people in the world, so happy that at last we’re using them. Think this is great! Hope Berudians take advantage of this, it could take them to their goals in life.

  10. Mad Dawg says:

    Between numbers 1 and 2 they specifically don’t appear to want attractive females aged 31 – 34.

    It’s odd that they would do that, given all the careful thought that obviously went into this.

  11. Loyal Bermuda Visitor says:

    REALLY?! This is worth $13 Million?! Yes, it will put a little extra cash in Bermudian’s pockets but will it bring people to the island to spend, putting money in more than just the “models” pockets’, probably not. Why not hire an agency that’s already showed commitment to Bermuda and it’s people and has proved their worth? I know one in particular that would run circles around “Fuseideas” and for half the budget.

  12. Doug says:

    “female between 20-35 with cliff jumping experience and more” and more?? hmmm

    • Mad Dawg says:

      Sounds like it’s worded so they can hire a specific person they already have in mind.

  13. William says:

    How old did you say you were?
    “16″
    “18 Huh? wellll come right along with me!” lol

    thats some dumb line out of an American movie i saw….

    Well, A few dollars to be part of some Planned theeng might not be all bad…You can always hope that they get it wrong a lotta times and turns into a full time career …

  14. A bit off... says:

    Little girl age 4-6 huh? Well all the public school students are still in school next week between 11-3. Genius.
