I'm not sure if this had been posted before, but on my way to work I heard a new(er?) ad for USCF on the Score that was pretty amusing.
It was definitely mocking the "southside-as-third-world-country" ignorance of some "Chicagoans".

It was done in the form of a radio show reading listener mail and the question was "Are there ROADS on the Southside?"

The reply (paraphrased): "Why yes, there are all sorts of paved thoroughfares on the southside-- even Residential "STREETS". The southside is famous for there also being places to actually put your car, called "Parking Lots" where sometimes people gather to "tailgate"...etc.

I thought it was a pretty clever ad and had a sufficiently mocking tone.

:thumbsup:
I like.

Really? I didn't know they were for real.

That's great.

They are? I asked them that at SoxFest, the guy told me they WEREN'T related to the SOX and that they were a real organization. The shirts are pretty funny though ..........

They are "real" in the sense that they have a name and are staffed by Human Americans but beyond that, they are just a faction of Brook's advertising malitia. Do you not find it odd that every link on their website leads to whitesox.com?

Pretty clever. They did say at SoxFest they weren't related to the SOX.
