Hey, Aramark doesn’t just screw up your favorite foodstuffs at sporting events… they’re also going to be selling papal gear when the Pope comes to Philly in September. Here’s the story from WHYY, which is in no way satire:
If you are seeking a plush mini pope, or a cardboard cutout of Pope Francis or a signature T-shirt, you will find plenty of wares at the World Meeting of Families website.
Eric Foss of Aramark, the company handling the marketing of the event, said the company is offering items of many differing prices.
“Anybody who wants to engage, to have a commemorative item from this event will be able to,” Foss said.
#engage #pope #WTF
Side note: Is it just me or does Plush Pope look a little like Plush Chase?
Maybe a little divine intervention will help that batting average.
