Bloggers and Podcasters need to be controlled

[RSoxNo1]

I'll post the photo when I get home, but Lou Mongello and his show received a nod in the latest issue of Spiderman (Issue #700).

The nod itself is harmless, but it reinforces the preferential treatment that he and others are getting to cover the parks.

Here's a suggestion for Disney - publicize a list of "Disney approved" bloggers as an extension or part of the Disney Mom's Panel. There is deception going on here that is a problem. Part of me wants to stop talking about it and Disney all together because the level of negativity I feel towards the company increases on a daily basis.

I know this forum gets a lot of crap but I'd like to once again take the opportunity to praise Steve for what he does. He has his opinions that he puts on the forums, but the content on his site is thorough and fact based. In a sea of non-sense it's nice to have someone that's doing things correctly.

If you're getting that negative about Disney, why cover it? Life is too short man. Go do something you enjoy. Especially if something as small as this bothers you. Time for a break.

Methinks that the people that complain about bloggers getting treated well, are just jealous.

Hey, you can use that advice for yourself with this site and its posters

Yet somehow a company that cant share fonts between divisions can make this happen.

Oh, and pay close attention to who ends up posting in this thread - I think you will know who the evil spirits are...

I just want those people receiving special treatment to acknowledge it. The latest I'm hearing on this is that Chris Eoliopolis (spelling?) did work for the comic book and put Lou's name in there as a nod. I know Chris has done some work for the WDW Today guys so this sounds plausible to me.

Can you elaborate on what was written so we don't have to wait for a picture?

 

[wdw71fan]

it's just the name.. it's not like they said "Ricky Brigante is the best WDW podcaster in the tri-state area!!"..

 

[the.dreamfinder]

the tri-state area!!"..

 

[Tigger1988]

99.99% of the people reading that comic book will have no idea who Lou is or that WDW Radio is anything but a throwaway name.

Whoo.....methinks you just opened up a can!

Looks to me more like a namecheck to someone who may be a friend or something rather than part of an overall corporate scheme to boost the Lou Mongello brand...

 

[MKCP 1985]

Did I read the first sentence of the original post correctly to say that Lou Mongello and his show were mentioned in a SpiderMan comic?

If so, congratulations to Lou Mongello for being forever a part of Spider Man. How cool is that?

If that's the case that's borderline fraud on the part of the artist

Maybe, but it's a common enough practice.

You mean the writer right? And the rough draft would of been approved by various editors before it made its way to print.

Look at it this way, Disney finally has a Marvel character that it can market and use in Walt Disney World (in more ways than one.)

THIS. So...much...this.
