Last summer he created national headlines, as the hilarious pitchman touting the “oil-free” Beaches of Fort Myers-Sanibel. He drank ocean water, wrestled fake tarpon and donned a red speedo, all in an effort to show the world that the Beaches of Fort Myers-Sanibel were unaffected by the Gulf Oil Spill. Now Dan is back in an offbeat on-line video effort to return him to the beach in Florida. The video shows Dan back at home in Chicago struggling with his desire to return to the place he loves most. The funny spot has Dan trying to do all the things at home that he did in Fort Myer-Sanibel, but without much success. The spot brings back Dan’s infamous “red speedo,” and is part of an ongoing online promotion to encourage visitors to visit the website fortmyers-sanibel.com and vote for their favorite “Dan” video as well as register for the chance to win a free 9-day vacation. Over 15,000 people have voted so far to “Bring Dan Back” online. Check out the new Dan video on the Dan Fan Page Tab of the Fort Myers-Sanibel Facebook page.
