In 2012, Pitbull was in an advertising campaign with Walmart. The advertising campaign would have Pitbull visit, and put on a show, in the location of the Walmart store that received the most Facebook "likes" from June 18 to July 15, 2012, . An online campaign entitled "#exilepitbull" started by journalist David Thorpe of The Boston Phoenix, [9] and Jon Hendren, writer for the comedy website SomethingAwful.com. The campaign urged people to vote for a remote location, this location being Kodiak, Alaska.[10] In an email to the Associated Press, Walmart confirmed that Kodiak was the winning location.[11] Walmart did not go ahead with the visit, regardless Pitbull decided to visit Kodiak and thier Walmart on July 30.
