Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Claims to be an environmentally conscious park
Also Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Fills a booth full of balloons for people to pop and send off to a landfill
Didn't they used to have those reusable fuzzy clown things in there that you were supposed to try to knock down with a ball or something? Seems much less environmentally harmful.

Well now the secret of unpoppable balloons is out there. That's how they are going to be environmentally conscious and make money at the same time.
I’m not sure if I’m supposed to like, be mad, or laugh at this post. I’m Smad!
I’m genuinely curious as to why some members found this post eye-roll inducing? It seems to me like an ideal post - it points out what could be a problem (claim of environmental consciousness and an attraction that appears to go against that claim) and proposes a potential solution (something just as fun that aligns with the park’s publicly stated values).
Since the eye roll emoji doesn’t convey what people find problematic with the thing they’re eye-rolling, I’m curious as to why those who added this emoji did so. I’m not trying to pick a fight here - it’s a genuine question.
I know I'm the resident flaming liberal around here, but having your game booth be named, "Wack-a-Hun" doesn't read great to me.
Like... what if it were, "Wack-a-Jew" or "Wack-a-German"
What about Wack-a-Italian? Fuggedaboutit.
Oh I agree. I’m just saying the way you worded it made me feel a mixed response.
"Hun" makes me think of MLMs too. I vote "not offensive".

That goose played the game Wack-a-Fabio
In Baltimore, “Whack-A-Hun” (Hon) would have a completely different meaning.
(If you know, you know.)
(If you know, you know.)
Wasn't there a whole Kitchen Nightmares episode on that?
But to the point, while Hadrian's Hurl at least sounds thematically correct, not sure how Hun fits - Attila the Hun ruled an Asian empire even if the time period comes close (not sure if it does tbh), but shorthand for Hungarian while closer geographically also seems out of place.
Why not roll with Whack-a-Barbarian if they can fit it on a sign?
I'm glad I wasn't the only one wondering this.
Like, I sorta assumed I was getting eye rolls because some people believe climate change is a hoax or something and I guess anyone who cares about animals choaking on discarded balloons is some sort of bleeding heart, woke liberal?
But even that explanation doesn't make a ton of sense because I'm not really even advocating for environmental consciousness in that post—I'm advocating for consistency between the park's messaging and their actions—it's more a point about hypocrisy than grandstanding about harmful waste.
The huns weren't a race or a shorthand for a race of people, they were an invading warrior clan and their invasions did spread into the roman empire.
The Huns were absolutely a people and had a distinct culture and language. Typifying them as nothing but invading barbarians is exactly what the romans wanted you to think. Just because they were nomadic and pastoral does not invalidate their personhood.
