Very Odd Sprint Palm Pre Event

kkye · 05/21/2009, 09:11 AM

We know about those launch parties at Sprint stores but this one is a bit odd. It's a veteran's benefit combined with a Sprint Palm Pre launch party? Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander? Don't get me wrong, it sounds like a good time but a bit odd!?!?!

Anyhow, not sure if it's a legit. I stumbled upon this flyer on flickr.

Palm Pre launch celebration on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

i agree...sounds weird to me too

Their grammar could use some help.

"Invite you to the celebrate the launch"

What is that???

Raidz1 · 05/21/2009, 09:59 AM

Maybe because you need to read the whole sentence?

'Palm & Sprint invite you to celebrate the launch of the new Palm Pre.'

Sounds good to me..

I guess my brain automatically corrects errors as I see them.

Seems like the kind of thing one might send out to celebrities and big-wigs--a fundraiser dinner sort of thing.

My Pre seems to have the correct grammar on their invitation..

My Pre headed to Palm & Sprint’s Pre launch party! - My Pre

Anyone at Precentral invited?

I get the feeling that they are looking for existing events that they can co-sponsor and do a little advertising at rather than setting up their own events.

I've got a hunch it's a photoshop...

I wish those people who graded my SAT's had that issue.

StefanP · 05/21/2009, 11:45 AM

it's too far-fetched to be photoshopped, it must be real :P

RoyFripple · 05/21/2009, 11:51 AM

What's up with the vegetables anyway?
