Remember that campaign to exile Pitbull to a Walmart in the Alaskan wilderness? Well, it worked!
Yes, thanks largely to the efforts of David Thorpe, the Walmart in Kodiak, Alaska piled up the most Facebook “likes” for the contest. Now Pitbull wants to take Thorpe along for the journey.
Report’s Buzzfeed’s Katie Notopoulos:
I spoke with Thorpe over Twitter DM to see if he was up for an Arrtic adventure (see what I did there? Arrtic? lmao, right?). Thrope revealed that details of a free trip to Alaska with Pitbull haven’t been finalized, but he’s been exchanging emails with Walmart and contest co-sponsor Energy Sheets. Says Thorpe, “I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska. I’m glad I’l get to do it under the strangest imaginable circumstances.”
Careful there, David. Don’t go ice fishing with Pitbull while you’re up there, okay. Just don’t do it.

How long do we think Pitbull will spend at the Walmart, half an hour? An hour?
I had no idea the Bud Light guy was a wrapper.
Long enough to do some commercials and whore some stuff out. DALE!!!
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess Pitbull doesn’t have a lot of self-awareness, so I really hope they have a film crew there to film his reaction to the fact that no one that shops at the Kodiak, Alaska Wal-Mart has any f*cking idea who he is.
I may not care to understand this guy’s music or why he’s famous, but at least he’s wearign a suite. So if it encourages young men to actually be well dressed, then I like that.
geez, I sound like my grandfather. pull back those should shoulders and stand up straight
Kodiak residents to be mildly disappointed a real Pit Bull will not be on display in their store.
“I spoke with Thorpe over Twitter DM to see if he was up for an Arrtic adventure (see what I did there? Arrtic? lmao, right?).”
He didn’t writte that did he?
If he wrote that and “I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska. I’m glad I’l get to do it under the strangest imaginable circumstances.” I’ll be kind of impressed.
Either way I like that whoever tells him how to act has him embracing this. Good PR.
I like to imagine it is ESPN Insider David Thorpe who’s off to Alaska with Mr. Pitbull.
Raptor fans would like them to make room for f&#%n Solomon Alabi on that plane.
