Part of Nike's plan for world domination so we can further serve our swoosh-adorned masters, you can schedule a wake-up call from eight different athletes, including Alex Rodriguez. You can access it here.
You can also choose to be woken up by Maria Sharapova, Amare Stoudemire, Justin Gatlin, Kaitlin Sandeno, Monyca Byrne-Wickey (she's a surfer), Liu Xiang (hurdler), or Joan Benoit Samuelson. Oh, and you can give Nike your phone number.
Sounds like an easy way to play a prank on someone. Imagine your co-worker coming into work saying that he got a wakeup call from Miss Sharapova or Kournikova or even Bob Timmerman! vr, Xei
If I knew Sharapova was going to wake me up, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep. And with my luck, I'd finally nod off as the sun came up, miss the call, and my wife would answer it.
Rodriguez seems like a nice guy, but if he really had to call me at 5am (my weekday wake up call), I imagine he'd sound more like my bitter 5am pre-coffee conscious:
"Wake the f up, yo. You think I get paid $50-million dollars a year for drooling? You know, baseball and endorsement deals are almost as easy as drooling when you're as talented as I am. But you're not. You're nobody. You gotta get your lazy pajama ass out of bed so you can afford my $120 dollar Nikes. I get mine for free, sucka. And just wait until your kids are old enough to want them. You'll need another job just to keep your family in Nikes. Have a nice day, sucka!" (click)
And please God, if I ever get a wake-up call from Amare Stoudemire, provide me with an armed escort that day. That guy frightens me.
Different laws applies in North Dakota and Guam.
