After The Internet decreed that it would be the Wal-Mart in Kodiak, Alaska that rapper and supreme professional Pitbull would attend as part of a Sheetz promotion, Mr. Worldwide proved that his nickname was not just an honorary title, and conducted his visit yesterday with trademark good humor and aplomb. He even invited David “@arr” Thrope, the Something Awful Goon who was the primary instigator of the whole movement, along with him, and tweeted to the people of Kodiak that he was “honored, truly” to be playing in their fine city.
For his endorsement and general mensch-ness, Pitbull was showered with gifts and accolades from the Kodiak citizens, including mayor Pat Branson, who gave Pit the honorary key to the city, and even copied the rapper’s sunglass look while doing so. (It wasn’t actually that sunny out, trust.) Besides that, Huffington Post reports that Mr. 305 was gifted with a Wal-Mart care package that included a healthy amount of bear bells and bear repellent spray, just in case the local Wal-Mart be besieged by grizzlies in the middle of his set. (Those big guys go nuts for “Hotel Room Service,” you know.)
Truthfully, the whole thing sounds like a blast to us. I mean, look at these pictures and tell us Pit wasn’t having the time of his life:
