Marley & Me Promotions Begin

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.”
