Nebraska Technically Snow is the biggest and by far the only artificial snow manufacturing company in Nebraska. Lincoln Journal Star praised the company for "innovating in Ą̷̢̦͓͔̞̻͕̰͉̳̼̑̈́͒̽͐̈́͊̓͌͆̀͘͘͜͜͝ẻ̷͙̦̮́͒̄̿ą̴͕̩͔̬̰̝͌̈͗͐̊̈́̀̓́͋̕͜͠ë̴̹͕̖̗̳̝̲̙̳̜͙̻́̾͗͋̌̓͆̈́̄́̿̃͘ ̴͕͚͎́̎̓̿̏͝ư̵̡̙̱̤̬̊̂̿̒̅̊͜͝a̷̤̝̫̓͋͐̕̚̚ȩ̷̱̗̹̟́̾̈́͗̂̄̇̎̈́͛͂̓á̵̭̗̳̥͈̪̳̃̓̑̆̉̈́̋͑̓̐͂͝e̸͎̮͉͕̫̥̪̲͙̩͐̉́͠ȁ̶̛̩͗̀͛̽͗̈́̃̏͝ ̷̦̳̠͇̯̱̓̈́̈́̐͐̀͒̑̃̎̈́̔̄͝͠ā̶̘̈́ė̷̢͇̫͔̳̎͗̒̈́̀́̏̇̓̎͛̉̿̈́ͅų̶̠͙̦̰͖̩̲̤̐̔̽̈̔͐̇̋̌̀̓́̾̒ǒ̸̧̢̧̺̣͓̪͓͉͇̪̘͓͊͐̿̅͗̎̀̈̚̚͘͜͠o̶͇͖̗͆̈́͊ứ̴̧̡̛̺̭̹̯̤͉̟̬̼̀̑͒͛̉͐̎̿̍̿͂͆ ̴̡̛͉̲͚͓̲͎̹͚͚̫̩̾̔̐̃͛̍͋̊̓͗̽͝͝͠." The reporter was later transferred to the University of Nebraska Medical Center for complications of a stroke after overthinking what the company had actually accomplished. He was discharged the following day. Lead anchor from KETV was shown crying after seeing the snow. However, he later revealed that he was crying after remembering family life when he was a child.
Despite its success, Nebraska Technically Snow has continuously been subject to criticism. In 2007, former lead anchor from KMTV reacted to the snow saying, "It's fucking ice." Nebraska Technically Snow responded by making the reaction its motto the following year. The company also received criticism for its snow containing asbestos and carbon monoxide.
History
editIn early 2002, brothers Josh and Gary Miller found how bare Nebraska looked during the Fall and Winter months. In response to this, the brothers founded Nebraska Technically Snow, LLC in Norfolk, Nebraska to help solve this issue. Under the company, they created a patent protected design for artificial snow codenamed "Blow". It included high levels of asbestos, carbon monoxide, profol, morphine, and a tiny dose of ice. When asked to elaborate on where they were getting these ingredients, they refused to comment.
The product was first tested on the streets of Norfolk in March. It was test released in November, and was officially launched in January 2003. Public reaction was largely tame. Areas with the snow had little flags advertising the snow. By January 2004, it was revealed that the company was actively losing money on the snow. The only source of income given was the local Wells Fargo down the street. Nebraska Technically Snow was on the verge of bankruptcy. It's co-founder, Gary Miller, revealed on local CBS affiliate KOLN that the company had just days left until it would close.
Controversies
editDuring the confessional run of Mike Flood, the companies founders, Josh and Gary Miller, disliked Flood and his policies. This resulted in Nebraska Technically Snow launching a sale called the "Fuck Mike Flood Sale". Within five days of the commercials, the Federal Communications Commission received complaints about the advertising used to promote the sale. With the FCCs "One complaint equals a billion people" policy, the advertising was shut down immediately. Nebraska Technically Snow responded by making a new sale. This sale was titled the "FCC is Full of Shit Sale". Advertising was receiving complaints.
