View Full Version : Probably not what the marketing department had in mind...

So, I was in Wal-Mart today...

Yes, I know what you're all thinking. You're thinking, "Miracle, every funny story you've ever told us begins with that exact phrase." And you're right.

Now, I'm not *sure* what the marketing department at Disney had in mind when they released Bambi 2, but I'm pretty sure they *never* envisioned this tagline...

In Disney's defense, this is NOT their display...it was *supposed* to be the display for the sequel to "Saw," but apparently some Wal-Mart associate thought lil Bambi needed an extra *kick* to get sales going...and I must admit...it certainly caught my attention...as well as my seven year old daughter, who promptly started crying..."MOM!! I THINK THEY KILLED BAMBI!!!"

Only in Texas would they think this was the appropriate display for Bambi...

Have to admit that is just a bit upsetting. Wonder why Walmart did something like that?

I swear I would be tempted to send the picture to Wal-Mart to see what they had to say.

Nope not yet...got an auto response from Letterman Show saying it takes about four weeks to hear back...so we'll see...
