Default Very Odd Sprint Palm Pre Event



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.

Their grammar could use some help.

"Invite you to the celebrate the launch"

What is that???

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.

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.
