POV description of awrds show advert

The description of the advertisement at the awards show in January 2007 is rather POV. Others have described it as creepy and distateful, going so far as to dub the whole thing as the Deadenbacher Incident. 74.12.88.159 21:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree. As far as I can tell this article is the first time I've seen the ad mentioned at all without a discussion of the extremely negative reactions it seems to have gotten. It's got to be verifiable on some news sites, I remember reading about it a lot a couple of months ago. A mention of the uncanny valley would fit well here.

World War II service?

Did the late Mr. Redenbacher serve during World War II? If so, what service branch, where, and when? If he saw combat, that should be included as well. WeeWillieWiki (talk) 14:20, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This biography is not completely accurate.

The article lists that Mr. R. moved to Coronado in 1990. I grew up in Coronado and can distinctly remember that not only did Mr. R. reside in Coronado in the late 1970s, but was listed in the phone book. Children (including myself) would occasionally call to ask him if he was "really" the popcorn man. He was a very sweet soul and took the time to talk to us. -Crystina 92118 71.222.44.175 (talk) 03:46, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
