Donny Osmond’s diplomatic incident

donny osmond adobe summitWhen Adobe invited everyone’s favourite singing Mormon Donny Osmond to present at its Summit conference it probably didn’t expect it to spark a diplomatic incident.

Donny kicked off his session with a good old fashioned sing along with Adobe’s vice president, business development and marketing, John Mellor, inviting the 10,000-strong audience to join them in singing I’ll Make a Man Out of You from the film Mulan, with the lyrics shown on a big screen.

Unfortunately no-one thought to check the lyrics to the Disney film’s lead song, which includes the line “Let’s get down to business, to defeat the hun”.

Fair to say the German delegates may have been a little less than pleased.
