Cubs New Luna Jingle Only Offends Evil Bloggers
I don’t know how many of you have attended a Cubs game yet this season, but if you have, then you noticed the Cubs air the Luna Carpet jingle at least once a game over the loudspeakers. Not only is it annoying, but it also cheapens the game. Cubs Marketing Director Matt Wszolek seems to have put a blindfold on and has decided that no one minds:
Wszolek said the Cubs had received no complaints from fans and that only bloggers and media were upset.
Do we really have to go over this again? Okay let me explain something to you Mr. Wszkdo-whatever; Bloggers are fans. And to be honest, I read a lot of Cubs blogs and I hadn’t heard anything about it in the blogosphere until I read the Tribune article yesterday. Blaming bloggers is becoming the new “blaming Jews for the bad economy in Germany circa 1933-1945″ (obviously that parallel runs into all kinds of problems, but still). Are people so out of touch with reality that they think bloggers are a whole universe of people separate from the rest of the population? It’s not like we all gather in our mothers’ basements and hatch plans to mess up Matt Wszolek’s masterful (see: retarded and annoying) new ad campaign. Most of those Cubs crowds are full of Cubs bloggers. If the bloggers are upset about something, that generally reflects the mood of the fan base. Even if it doesn’t, it at least reflects the mood of certain Cubs fans that happen to have blogs.
Just so it doesn’t get lost in all this: bloggers aren’t the only ones that think its annoying. I have been to 2 games this year. I went with 3 other people to each game (totaling 6 people) that are not bloggers. Guess what? They thought the jingle was annoying too. Maybe Wszolek thinks they are bloggers-by-association for hanging out with me. Anyone who aids a Jew–oops I mean blogger, I said blogger, right?–will be considered to be in league with them.
I’m also curious what kind of research was done to determine that fans aren’t annoyed with the jingle. Considering I’ve lived in Chicago and been hearing that stupid jingle since I was about 5, I’d say I was annoyed with it by 1995.
I really have a blogger inferiority complex, don’t I?

I AGREE. I found myself humming that damn jingle during the whole game. And thanks a lot… now it’s in my head again.

it is no secret that the jews’ money-handling and intellectual skills often gained favor with political power holders, bringing individual or group protection. also, because of their cunning miserly cheapness, many jews actually became tax collectors or other government officials and advisors. this – along with causing the great depression, world war 2, the earthquake during the 1989 world series, and roberto alomar’s aids – has made jews hated by pretty much everyone. only a jew who blogs and supports a powerful, activist, intrusive government would hate the luna jingle. looooooooonaaaaaaaa

I’ve created an online petition to make this atrocity stop. And I had a blog a few years ago which means I don’t count, so we need all the non-blogger signatures we can get! (maybe if you are a blogger, just drop the “-stein” from your last name so they won’t catch on to us)

Every time a blogger makes a post a kitten dies. And that’s a nice picture of you.
