Stupid Public Relations Trick

Post by Cheshire Figment » Fri Nov 30, 2007 7:43 am

It appears that people in Recreation (where, unfortunately, I am assigned) have really messed up big time.

They have contracted with a company for a souvenier program for the marathon, and it can be seen at http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/disney/ ... /index.php

Page 12 is a full-page ad for Heelys, and they will have their Stunt Team at WDW during the Expo.

Last I knew Heelys were not permitted in the Parks, but they will be there!

For the first time in a long time, I'm at a loss for words. That's just so messed up. :mad:

Well, Disney has a stunt show at the Studios, but they won't let you drive that way around the parking lot or parks :)

Or the guy who saw the stunt show and thinks he has the right to drive like that through the parks...
