What Marketing Execs Dream About

From (who else?) The Onion:

“The Miami Marlins announced Saturday they are completely sold out of tickets for the 2012 season, ending a deluge of requests from area residents completely rabid about the long-ignored team’s new cap and uniform colors. “Until three weeks ago, I didn’t know anyone around here who gave a crap about the Marlins, but when they changed up their colors, we were all like, ‘Oh, man! Wow! Blue, yellow, black, and orange?’” said new season-ticket holder Gord McCullough, adding that like the majority of Miami residents, he once would have preferred sitting in traffic for four hours to attending a Marlins game, but now, because of the revamped logo’s stylized fish and the addition of the city’s name to the team, can’t imagine life without trips to the ballpark.”

And there is not even a mention of the monstrosity that it will appear every time the Marlins hit a home run. That has to be worth at least 5,000 people a night.
