Well it happened, Internet — Pitbull was shipped off to a Walmart in rural Alaska, just as you wished he would be.
The trick worked and Pitbull spent the day hanging with some of the local residents of the island with a population just north of 6,100 and snapping pics in their Walmart. During his visit, the “Give Me Everything” rapper performed at the local Coast Guard base, posted pics of signs warning of bears in the vicinity, posed with fans and tweeted, “Thank U Kodiak … I am honored, truly.” The latter was accompanied by a snap of him watching some locals in traditional garb offer a blessing as he held one of their children.
…
Walmart posted a photo of Pit receiving his Kodiak survival kit, which included some brown boots, bear bells and bear repellent. A short time later, the big box retailer followed with a shot of ‘Bull, wearing his signature white blazer and shades, posing in front of a giant stuffed bear in the store.
Oh yes…

Additionally, Pitbull brought David Thorpe, the guy who kicked off the Pitbull-to-Alaska campaign, along for the ride.

I actually kinda love Pitbull for being such a good sport about the whole thing. Well done, sir.



Dear PR people: take notes. This is how you react to Internet stunts.
Props to Pitbull for being a good sport about the whole thing.
And a real good time was had by all.
Yeah, this story is great on every level.
It’s good to see PB took it in stride. So many other celebrities would’ve been total dicks about this. He probably did more to broaden his appeal than he even knows long-term.
That was actually very kewl of him.
