I would first like to thank each of you for your kind words and for backing Scott and I up on something we firmly believed was a wrong move for a company so many young children love.<br /><br />I wrote on our blog Tuesday night that we are "done" trying to campaign for Disney to know this line was inconsiderate for children with glasses and insensitive altogether, and truly, after this final move I am done.<br /><br />I would like to ask each of you to file one more complaint. This is because Shawn Turner, head of PR for Disney, has in essence called me a liar on two television stations and is adamant that Disney has received NO complaints on the nerds line. Um, who checks the Disney Store complaint email box? Apparently no one.<br /><br />So if you could send just one more email with your thoughts and feelings to Shawn Turner herself, I would be FOREVER GRATEFUL. Here is her contact information:<br /><br />Shawn Turner<br />Disney Store North America<br />818-544-0848<br />shawn.n.turner@disney.com<br /><br />I am sending my own email off this morning, basically just copying and pasting what I wrote on our blog in August. Your email doesn't have to be long or take up much of your time--just a sentence saying you think the nerds line was insensitive is enough. Or you can give her a piece of your mind if you have an extra 5 minutes--wouldn't hurt to do so :)<br /><br />And since I've taken some recent heat over the word "nerd" I'd just like to remind you as you write Shawn what Websters defines it as:<br /><br />a stupid, irritating, ineffectual, or unattractive person<br /><br />Do we want our children who wear glasses because they HAVE to labeled with such a hurtful term? Nope!<br /><br />Thanks everyone for everything. You're all the best!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704239966205023250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200512970026955473.post-5292489474732440742011-08-22T21:37:10.654-04:002011-08-22T21:37:10.654-04:00Thanks, Ladies!
