Oh, boy, am I excited for the film version of Marley & Me. But what I am even more excited for is this thing at the Inquirer! From a memo sent to employees titled “FW: Marley Mania”:

Activites will include:

  • The first 100 readers who come to the Inquirer with their dog will receive a pass for two to a special preview of Marley & Me.
  • Join 92.5 XTU for great Marley giveaways & “Pooch Pictures With Santa”
  • Enjoy a sampling of delicious hot chocolate & munchkins courtesy of Dunkin’ Donuts
  • All will be eligible to win a “Marley” replica – straight from the film! Provided by Doggie Style, with locations in Center City & South Philadelphia
  • Philadelphia SPCA Adoption Van On Site

What’s a “‘Marley’ replica”? (Are they going to be selling stuffed Marley puppies? Aww, so cute!) What, for that matter, are “great Marley giveaways”?

Unfortunately for employees over at 400 N. Broad, they can’t compete in the dog contest: “Unfortunately employees cannot bring their dogs to work so instead bring a picture of your dog to the public room between 11:30 – 1:30. We’ll post them outside and vote who has the cutest dog! Winners will receive a special doggy prize.”

    I still have the lens that Jennifer Aniston’s brutal bodyguards broke when I asked to take her photo at El Vez. I am torn over wishing the movie fails, and wanting it to succeed because the writer worked at the Inky.

    interestingly, although i have been a dog lover all my life, the imminent release of “marley and me” is making me want to go all King herod on puppies.

    damn you and your little dog, John Grogan.

    And all this frolic will be just one day after 35 MORE people are laid off at the Inky and DN! There’s a “doggy prize” for you …

    Um, when is this soiree at the Inquirer? This reader thing is nowhere to be found on any of their pages in the past 24 hours
