Illegal Betty Boop Use on Science Channel Show - Punkin Chunkin

[Ben Decho]

On Thanksgiving Day, the Science Channel will have a show on Punkin Chunkin in Bridgeville Delaware and will be showcasing a chunking team called "Betty - Chunk for a Cure" that used a downloaded image from the internet for their logo.

They sold T-Shirts and Hooded sweatshirts with the guise of raising money for breast cancer research.

The team leader was able to quit her job due to "fund raising".

You can see pictures of their cannon with the Betty Boop pink color and images on the cannon and their clothing at this link:

"Because it's the biggest thing that ever happens around Bridgeville, "The Chunk" is its own mini-economic stimulus package.

"Look at all the money we're bringing in now. All the restaurants and hotels are filled," beamed Mary Phillips, a 20-year Punkin Chunkin veteran who's now part of the all-female Chunking for the Cure crew. Their eye-catching pink-and-purple cannon with an air tank featuring a painting of Betty Boop holding a pair of strategically placed pumpkins makes appearances to raise money to fight breast cancer. "

"There's so much science that the Science Channel will air a one-hour special about the Punkin Chunkin Thanksgiving night."
