Good question! Answer: No. I posted it because we'd just watched the movie.
I should have made that clear, however. Last night, as I posted that trailer, I wondered if people would think these were product placements. I've never been paid to post an item, and never would accept such payments.
In fact, the FCC requires that bloggers disclose whether they get paid to endorse products. Failure to do so can result in a fine of $11,000 per post.
Stupid question, so please go easy on me. If the FCC fines people for failure to disclose when they endorse products for pay, wouldn't that mean Gannett's Moms sites would have to follow that rule, too?

My 4 year-old son's favorite movie, therefore, I too have seen it about 50 times.
ReplyDeleteNot only is this a very entertaining movie, the quality of animation is top notch.
ReplyDeleteJim,
ReplyDeleteAre you getting paid for the non-Gannett videos you've posted this past week?
