Stupid Public Relations Trick

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!

Terrible. Management should INSIST that the team do part of the Demo to stress NO HEELYS in the park, and NEVER without safety gear!!!!

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