20 hurt at LG event as promotional stunt goes wrong

Twenty hurt at LG event as promotional stunt goes wrong:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23681200


	Quote: LG has cancelled a series of events promoting the handset as a result of the incident. People arrived with BB guns and knives on sticks for a race to grab smartphone vouchers hanging from helium balloons. Customers arrived with BB guns to shoot down the balloons and surged forward when they were released.

Jeesus, which idiot in the marketing department thought that would be a good idea?!!
:roll:
