Iron Man 3 Stunt Goes Wrong; Manager Apologizes

<br /><div class="MsoNormal">I know what you’re thinking.  What kind of an idiot hires actors in tactical gear to walk in on movie patrons in a dark theater?  Apparently, that question actually has an answer, which is pretty disturbing.  According to MSN News, under the headline “Iron Man 3 stunt goes wrong” there is an article about a Jefferson City, Mo. theater manager who thought <a href="http://money.msn.com/now/post.aspx?post=42a9c240-3271-4fe7-ae91-a36f856285e7">marking the premier</a> of the major super hero film with appearances by SHIELD agents dressed in such a manner would be a bit hit for movie goers.  Granted Tony Stark's alter ego Iron Man was also there, but SHIELD agents? <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Apparently the manager in question never heard of the Aurora, Colorado <a href="http://laist.com/2013/05/13/dark_knight_shooter_james_holmes_enters_insanity_plea.php">shootings last year</a> at the premier of “The Dark Knight Rises” that killed 12 people and injured 58 others, because if he had he would have decided that customers at the Goodrich Capital 8 Theaters would probably not enjoy someone walking around in all black with fake guns.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Softpedia is reporting that Bob Wilkins, the manager who made the bad judgment call, <a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/Theater-Manager-Apologizes-After-Dumb-Iron-Man-3-Publicity-Stunt-Goes-Wrong-353026.shtml">has apologized</a> for causing folks a bit of distress.  Hey someone dressed up as Iron Man is a great idea, but taking it to the next level having SHIELD agents (really are they necessary for any type of promotion?) running around the theater was a bad call.  It is nice to see he gets the error in judgment, and hopefully he bounces those ideas off of others before deciding to make another one.<o:p></o:p></div>
