Thousands of IT professionals recently played Eaton's Betrayed Arcade to score points for their favorite desk toy. The weakest toy is being booted from the desk. Here is our farewell to Strongman!
2. Why we have to say goodbye:
After IT pros voted Zen Frog on to the
desk in Eaton’s Desk Toy Decision
2016, Eaton launched a new
promotion to kick one out. Cruel, but
true.
Thousands of IT pros participated in
Eaton’s Betrayed Arcade, and played
to save their favorite desk toy.
The competition was tough, and
Monkey ultimately prevailed.
Strongman, ironically, had the weakest
results, and is being removed from the
desk.
3. IT TAKES A SPECIAL
PERSON TO PULL OFF
THIS OUTFIT.
About Strongman
His plea to the IT pros in
the Betrayed Arcade
campaign:
“The thought of getting kicked
off is too much to bear. I
mean, that’s some heavy
emotional weight. Not too
heavy, mind you. Nothing is
too heavy for me. I could
bench press that heavy
emotional weight about
six…teen…hund-thousand
times. For the love of protein
shakes please vote for me.”
4. DON’T LEAVE BECAUSE
OF ME. I BRING PEACE. ONE LESS TOY
STANDING IN MY WAY!
Strongman did a lot of heavy lifting
throughout the years. Here is a snap shot of
his time as an Eaton desk toy. He will be
missed by (most) of the his fellow toys.
