Rolling Stone, US Weekly Feature Special WB Insert
August 11, 2005
By Stephanie D. Smith
The WB will place a special insert in two upcoming September issues of Wenner Media's Rolling Stone and Us Weekly to promote new Fall show, Supernatural, premiering Sept. 13.
When readers open the magazine to the ad, the insert will play a 20-second song clip “Out of My Hands,” by the Dave Matthews Band, dialogue between the two main characters-brothers Sam and Dean Winchester-and a voiceover that gives a quick show summary and premier date. The ad will also have two flashing yellow lights that look like car headlights of a 1967 Chevrolet Impala, the same model the show's main characters drive.
The insert, produced by WB and Americhip, will appear in the Sept. 12 issue of US Weekly and the Sept. 22 issue of Rolling Stone.
Supernatural is a one-hour drama where two brothers search for an explanation behind their parent's death and encounter ghosts and spirits.
We were just thrilled to get this. The card is approximately 6 inches wide by 10 inches high. I really considered having the boys sign this. But I didn't want to sully it even with their signatures. I'm adding this post way after the fact (in 2011), I'm considering having the boys sign it at either LA Con 2012 or Vancon 2012, but I still hestitate to have it marked up even though having their signatures would likely increase it's value.
