Las Vegas hot dog restaurant apologizes after sorely underestimating the power of Bluey
"We hope to repair our relationship with you" the restaurant wrote, after failing to grasp just how much attention "Bluey Day" would bring down on their heads
Today, in “For the love of Christ, don’t mess around with Bluey fans” news: A Las Vegas hot dog restaurant apparently brought the wrath of hundreds, if not thousands, of fans of the animated Australian pooch down on their own heads this week, after announcing a free “Bluey Day” at their restaurant without understanding the series of events that their careless actions had so thoughtlessly set in motion.
Per a report from local news station Fox 5 (and as reported by SFGate), proprietors of the Las Vegas location of Dirty Dog thought they’d get 50 or 60 attendees at their Bluey day, presumably because they are fools who did not grasp the sheer terrifying power that the adorable Australian Blue Heeler holds over the minds of both children, and desperate parents grateful to be able to put something on their TVs that is actually funny and good for once. Despite getting thousands of RSVPs for the event on Facebook, the restaurant still didn’t prepare itself for the onslaught, leading to massive lines, shortages of giveaway materials, and lots of angry comments on their social media.
At least the kids got to see Bluey, though, right? A real costume and everything, and not some Spirit Halloween “Australian Blue Canine” bullshit that some poor employee got shoved into, pulling a Bluey-themed hood down over his face to try to hide his shame from God and everyone? Not so much, as reported by extremely funny child attendee Sophia, who declared (and really, you should just watch the clip, Sophia kicks ass) that she just couldn’t, with Bluey. “He looked like unexpected,” Sophia declared, funnier than we will ever be. “We could like see his beard.”
Dirty Dog has issued a formal apology to attendees to the event, writing that, “We are truly sorry this event wasn’t the expected experience… We hope to repair our relationship with you.”
