No one saw this coming? Really?


Fancy that: A city zoo and a Christian creationism "museum" not a good promotional match.

The Cincinnati Zoo found itself in the middle of an unexpected uproar a couple of weeks ago.

Pourquoi?

Because the zoo, an institution funded by a city tax, cooked up a package deal with The Creation Museum. A "museum" that includes a display of a triceratops wearing a saddle.

Uh huh. You read that right.

Anyway, funny thing happened on the way to promoting that package deal: bunches of people thought there was a disconnect between the underlying mission of each attraction.

I got nothin' to add. Just thought this was a funny story of marketing gone awry that had nothing to do with bad pitches to bloggers :)
