Oy Vey they did it again (Update with Weber-Shandwick apology)
We are pleased to report that within hours of our post, we received this apology from Phil at Weber-Shandwick:
Dear Aviva and Devra,
I just read your response to the recipes that I sent to you yesterday. I sincerely apologize, especially if I offended you. Thank you for calling this out to me– lesson learned in paying close attention to the details. I will certainly be more conscious about the content of what I send to you in the future.
Sincerely,
Phil
We responded to Phil by accepting his apology and we also let him know that our calling him out was done in an effort to raise awareness and not to offend him either. He responded by letting us know he wasn't offended in the least, and needed to learn to do better. Phil, dawg, you have scored an invite to the Parentopia Passover Seder. Mazel Tov!
As for Disney? We are not aware of any formal apology having been extended by Disney to Jewish mommy bloggers. Hopefully they aren't Mickey Mousing around and are working on getting one out immediately. But maybe they can't do it on their own, maybe they need some more help from us. If this is the case, Devra has penned yet another brief open letter. If you want to sing along while reading, go for it:
Dear Disney PR,
Disney, let me introduce you to Phil from Weber-Shandwick. Maybe he will help you write that apology? Phil knows how to make one.
Wishing you well,
Devra
PS: School is in session over here, here and here if anyone needs to attend a couple of classes about how to market to mommy bloggers.

Phil--duuuude!!! Way to go!
And to the rest of the PR folks out there listening...there are a lot of us mommybloggers out there--many you're not following--and we talk.
Just sayin'.
Still no Disney apology? Innnnteresting.
Stefania,
Still nothing from Disney. The sound of the crickets is deafening, isn't it?
Oy, the little boychik wouldn't know what to do!
BTW, I used to work at WS, in full disclosure. And, 10 years of Hebrew lessons, I can lament with the best.
Good on you and good on Phil. Guess the Mouse is, umm, hiding Easter eggs ...
