OCEAN CITY, Md. — The print ad, which takes up most of a newspaper page, shouts, "The Ocean Is Evaporating!"
TV and Internet spots warn that the world's oceans will disappear — in about a billion years.
But what appear to be public service announcements this week, delivered with a fake sternness by Mayor Richard W. Meehan, are actually an ad campaign to encourage visits to the resort town.
"We're advising citizens to book their Ocean City getaway now, before the ocean evaporates," Meehan says in the commercials; the image blurs and jumps like an old newsreel.

The ads ran Sunday and Monday in TV markets from Richmond to New York. The Internet version can be seen at morefunhere.com and a print version ran Monday in The Washington Post.
The ads are part of a $1 million campaign designed for the Ocean City Department of Tourism by MGH of Owings Mills."
Wasn't easy to find this lunatics party affiliation, which of course all but heralded the fact that he is a democrat. Smoking bans, gun control, and global warming fanaticism.
Of course he's a democrat.
