Diser's for CMO!

[HauntedMansionFan]

"And in corner #1, we have HMF ... Haunted Mouse Fan!"

"And in corner #2, it's Disneydd2!"

The boxing-match starts, and -- somewhere in the crowd -- DISgeeksfromDC thinks to herself, "Maaan, I hope Disneydd2 doesn't get his teeth knocked out. That wouldn't bode well for his upcoming CMO campaign!"

Okay, I must be a tad too giddy it's Friday...

[Side note: My husband often accuses me of being a closet "rubbernecker," and this little exchange could have the potential to get exciting...]

Actually I'm in DD2's corner.... I love his video.... LOVE it! I think I've had way to much coffee today.

Correction: Make that "HauntedMansionFan." See! I'm doing it again! That darn self-edit!

[Meanwhile, back at the boxing match...]

HMF and DD2 trade punches. And ...

Announcer: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Who is that testy woman climbing into the ring? And why is she going after HauntedMansionFan? We're going to have to call security to pry her off of him!"

"...Okay, this just in ... Apparently, she's called DISgeeksfromDC, and it appears that HMF said something today on the DISboards that greatly offended her!"

'Just kidding, of course!

Okay, I've 'gotta log off for a while, but I'm definitely hoping to check back in tonight to celebrate when we win the millions! Hey, fleagle, we're holding you to your generous offer once that money is no longer imaginary!

It's never a nice fight to see a geek fighting with a pocket protector! Put that protractor away too!

This is from Brady of the LA Times:

Top 20 Disney Dream CMO finalists

It's been fun to talk with most of the "Known 8" Disney Dream CMO finalists. I'm planning on writing two stories in the next few days. The first story will offer my opinions on the "Known 8" video resumes. After the story runs, I'm hoping you guys will weigh in on why I was right or wrong. The second story will offer short bios on the "Known 8" based on my interviews with each. They seem like a great bunch. Any one of them would make a fine CMO. I'm as excited as you guys to find the "Unknown 12." If you are one of the 12 (Cut-out Patrick, Kerrie Duncan, etc.) or know somebody who is among the chosen, please drop me an email or give me a call. Long live Kenny the Pirate.

Thanks,

He also was sure to mention to me - several times - that he will be expressing his opinions, both positive and negative, about each of the videos. I got the impression that we'd better not be overly sensitive!

I think anyone who enters a public domain (esp a contest where your work is to be judged!), needs to not take anything personally!

For every person that loves your video, someone else won't.

For every one that welcomes you with love, someone else won't.

My advice: just accept it!

If we all thought the same, then there wouldn't be need for more than one of you!

[OK, now let the attack begin on my post! I can handle it! ]

 

[Marshay]

Awwww! 'Just remember that -- whatever happens -- we DISers still love you guys! You are the ones who were brave enough to step forward and introduce yourselves, remember?

YES!!

The final Disney CMO is going to be loved and not from others. Look at the Mom's panel. Some people wrote some really ugly things about some of the moms (and dad). It's not going to be a 'lovefest' just b/c the CMO is chosen. The CMO is going to work hard in their job!

 

[Marshay]

That would be wonderful and most definitely appreciated! The thing about those of us on this site - and I think I can speak for most of the others - is that this is absolutely how we really are. We're not acting or fishing for votes. We're just normal, passionate people with a love for Disney. Hopefully having Brady and others see us interact with other fans here on a regular basis counts a good thing!

Still trying to catch up! Doesn't matter if Brady likes you guys or not -- you have already proven yourself on the DIS from your posts!

 

[Marshay]

Ohhhh suuuuure.... the newpaper guy can make negative comments about the videos but weeeeeeeee can't.

I think we are all big enough to accept negative and positive comments!

 

[Marshay]

Just a quick review of the "CMO 8" who weren't afraid to come forward and let us celebrate their top 20 status with them. I wish you all well and hope it helps you make the top 10!

thanks Kenny for posting again!

 

[Marshay]

and Kenny, please post the link to Brady's articles, once they are written, if you can.

Looks like he only covers CA, not FL?

I agree Marshay and I think that is good advice. When I made my video I knew people would either think I was funny...or really annoying and since I didn't make it to the top 20... really annoying apparently won out!

A tip from me- I made my husband and I matching "just married" t-shirts for our Disney honeymoon and some of my husband's friends were laughing when they saw what I was going to "make" him wear (They are not Disney goers)...but after we were in the parks enjoying our free desserts that we got because of our shirts, who cares what they thought!

...so even if someone says something about you or your video now, you guys can laugh it off while you are enjoying your time in Disney as the new CMO!
