The response from Nate and Valerie.

I love these guys. I think I will clip my toe nails now.

Viva l' Cancellation that is undoubtedly coming to this unfunny show.

I think the PDGA asking them [Happy Endings] to appologize for their show was a bit like PETA asking Obama to oppologize for swatting a fly. It seems petty. But, the response from Val and Nate was great!

I don't think you guys realize that this is one giant publicity stunt that benefits the show and the PDGA/Disc Golf community. Something fishy about them contacting the PDGA before the show went on the air. Now Val/Nate are in the mix, the stars of the show, etc. Not buying it, all a big set up.

The words "giant publicity stunt" and "PDGA/Disc Golf community" can't be in the same sentence!

Grammatical error sillybizz!

How much of a demographic do you think we really represent, silly?

... it doesn't really benefit us, dude... no matter how you slice it... and frankly, the only problem i had is that the damn show wasn't even funny... if it had been clever and totally made fun of golf in a clever and witty manner it wouldn't have bugged me at all... it was just that the show itself is just so freaking awful... and i have a personal problem with people saying "frolf"... it's just one of those words that i don't like... i have a whole list of them...

You think so? Really? I don't think you know very much about marketing in that case.

Doubt me? Ask Casey Anthony or Amanda Knox how they are feeling about all of that publicity...

Ummmmmm not quite. Don't think that dude who got caught last year selling mass amounts of stuff during the pdga worlds was good publicity.

So when they make a book or movie deal, and profit from it, I'm sure publicity has nothing to do with that either. For good or ill.

no, it is not.

... unless you are entirely unconcerned with the impression people have of you and your only aim is that people know your name (or the name of your sport)...

... that is such a silly thing to say... sheesh...

finally got around to watching the episode in question. no problems here, and i thought it was kindof funny actually. Its a bummer that they dissed it a little bit but in the end i believe that the publicity is good.
people are always going to say what theyre going to say and not everyone appriciates disc golf from what they hear about it, at first. Heck. i hated 'frolf' the first time i played it. it takes a while for everyone to learn to love this sport.
i think its a positive thing because make fun or not, "frolf" or "frisbee golf" still being said on national tv. It may not be "disc golf" like we like it to be said, but its still recognition. people who have never heard of it before seeing this show now have. and i dont know how that could be a bad thing.

OK - I finally watched it, too. Not really offended by the frolf references - I just don't think the show was remotely funny.

Oh you're completely right. I forgot that people will start loving them as soon as they make a movie or write a book.

Any other completely lame arguments to throw out there?

Wow. I NEVER said anything about ANYBODY loving them. Merely suggested that the same publicity (for good or ill) may help them profit..But your an expert, so I'll leave it to you Sam.. Where was it you got your degree in marketing again?

Any publicity IS good publicity the question is for whom..
