Did Mayor Nutter Just Tell PETA To Shove It?
Looks like the mayor is doing some Sarah Palin-esque official business on unofficial computers! Or, as my friend suggested, 400,000 emails an hour might crash the city’s severs. Hell, you can’t even get to phila.gov without typing in the www. “I know all Philadelphians share my excitement about the World Series and I want to give everyone a chance to watch the games with me,” Mayor Nutter said was quoted as saying in his release. “Head to your local library, send me an email with the correct answer, and come Saturday night you might be watching the game from the Mayor’s Box.” Here’s where it gets fun. The question, written in huge letters in the release, is:
Everybody who’s been paying attention already knows the answer, of course: PETA recently asked Victorino to stop eating the meat in his favorite dish as part of their ongoing “stupid publicity stunt” campaign. “We suspect that the cruelty in every can of Spam will infuriate Shane more than a high Hiroki Kuroda fastball,” PETA Assistant Director Dan Shannon said in a statement. Yes, a PR person actually put that quote down, thought about it and decided, “Yeah. This is what I was going for.” Little do they know Shane Victorino hates animals! Everybody only knows the Spam answer because of PETA’s protest. I don’t really see how it’s a shot at PETA — oh no, he referenced meat! — but it’s just too perfect. Literally three people I talked with online agreed it had to be. Three! Anyway, go mail the answer and your address and phone to that email address by Thursday at noon. Or just do it now. And CC: PETA. Update: Fixed the email address (for the record, I had it right in the mailto:). Also: This photo is excellent. But we all know the Phanatic will hobnob with any politician. |

At the Phillies Rally earlier today, Mayor Nutter announced he would be raffling off a few pairs of tickets for games 3, 4 and 5 of the World Series. And all you have to do is email the answer to a trivia question to 
if you actually go to http://www.phila.gov they use a picture of camden’s baseball stadium to congratulate the phillies
isn’t it also a little weird that they’re having you put the word “Spam” in the subject of an email? Assuming that gets picked up by the gmail spam filter wouldn’t gmail start deleting the emails after a point?
“Did Mayor Nutter Just Tell PETA To Shove It?”
Wouldn’t you?
@dan: Haha, don’t they know we have a nicer looking stadium now?? They can use photos of CBP without felling self-conscious!
The email address doesn’t work, lame
ah fart fart nevermind
D-Mac can’t spell, or he’s trying to cockblock his own readers from winning tickets to improve his chances
