Yesterday the Bulletin published an article about the Bend Visitor & Convention Bureau's new flash animation that cost over $35,000 to make. What did BVCB and DVA think, they wouldn't get criticism? But really, is this video worth someone's job being in jeopardy? Come on people, get real. The video was not that bad and probably served it's purpose of being sent virally all over the country yesterday.
The article in today's Bulletin suggested via John Hummel that the Bend BVCB should have talked to the city council before launching the campaign. Is it standard practice for all marketing materials be shown to the city council that the BVCB puts out? Probably not, so why now?
Seriously, what's the fuss about? They were trying a new way to reach folks to get them to spend their money in our city boosting our economy. Big deal if they portrayed us as a bunch of pot smoking, incest loving rednecks. Can't we make fun of ourselves and laugh a little bit. The one thing missing ... California references.
We want to hear what our readers think. So leave us some comments and we'll publish them.
