I See Your True Colors, Kodak

Remember the kid who tried to give Megan Fox a yellow rose at the London premiere of Transformers and was “snubbed?” Remember how Kodak uncovered the boy’s true identity, then offered to fly him to New York and arrange a meeting with Fox during her segment on the Today show in an odd and oblique attempt to market their products?

Earlier this week, Wendie reported that Harvey once again failed to deliver his token of affection when coverage of Michael Jackson’s death bumped the Fox segment on the Today show. But it turns out that Kodak had never made arrangements for him to meet Fox in the first place. According to the Today Show, “Harvey was never scheduled to appear and we don’t plan to have him on.”

A source tells Page Six,
“Kodak basically put this kid on a plane on the off-chance that he’d get to meet her. They never even confirmed with ‘Today.’ Now they’re offering him around for interviews. It’s exploitative and creepy.”

What the hell, Kodak?

  • Kodak is desperate. Even though they tried to deal with the transition from analog to digital the company is a hollow shell of it’s former self.

    Their last foothold is motion picture film and that is slowly disappearing too. Some televisions shows that used to shoot on 16mm film have now almost all gone HD video. Some “movies of the week” are now shot digitally instead of 35mm.

    Only a matter of time before Kodak is just a history note.
