Lionsgate and Summit have merged their marketing divisions, tossing Summit marketeer Nancy Kirkpatrick into the dumpster and crowning the fierce, tattooed warrior Tim Palen as Grand Poobah of All Things Marketable.
According to Variety, Kirkpatrick, who has served as Summit’s president of worldwide marketing for the past six years, will resign at the end of this month.
That gives her about a week and a half to hide a dead raccoon somewhere in Palen’s office.
Le roi est mort, vive le roi!

Let us hope it's a weak-dead, overly-ripe raccoon. It'd be a shame to waste a perfectly good animal otherwise.

Challenge accepted! I will find that raccoon and rub its scent all over my manly beard!

Maybe he'll find the dead raccoon and get rid of it along
with Tim Somerfeld.

He'll use the dead raccoon as inspiration to rip off some forgotten piece of art from some Polish artist and have Ignition make it into a piece of movie advertising and win key art awards and be called a genius. Far more than the raccoon smells here.
