TOURIST: Excuse me, are you from New York?

BLOGGER: Yes, why?

TOURIST: Can you please tell me, who eez Sarah Marshall?

BLOGGER: Who?

TOURIST: Sarah Marshall. I see this name everywhere. Who eez she?

BLOGGER: Oh, that. It's a movie. Sarah Marshall is a character.

TOURIST: So she eez actress?

BLOGGER: No, she doesn't exist. It's a teaser campaign. They want you to ask that.

TOURIST: What is "teaser campaign"?
