Pitch Line Of The Day

Hi Daniel,

I thought you might be interested in using former Philly Sal Fasano’s mustache as a way to get men in Pennsylvania involved in a fundraiser that supports prostate cancer research.

Hot diggity dog, of course I’d like to use Sal Fasano’s mustache to get men in Pennsylvania involved in a fundraiser that supports prostate cancer research! Geeze, why didn’t I think of this before?

I know I’m pretty sold already, but is there any way you can get alcohol involved in this somehow, too?

I know you don’t often write about health issues, but Canadian Club whiskey is one of the sponsors for “Movember,” an event where men grow mustaches ( “mos”) in the month of November to raise money for prostate cancer research.

Canadian Club whiskey? Mos?! Movember?! This is all too much. A press release for the big event — featuring something called a “hairy ribbon” — can be found here. More »

Fax Of The Day

Hey, kids, did you know fax machines still exist? Apparently, they do, and PW and the rest of this city’s newspapers destroy an entire forest a day by printing out received faxes. Here’s one that was on the top of the pile when I walked by a few minutes ago:

Hmm. Three stars and a 48-pt. font for a grocery store re-opening. (What I’m trying to say here is more font, bigger stars!) Unfortunately, this was at 10 a.m. this morning. We all missed it. Damn.

PR Invite Of The Day

Gah. Well, at least it’s Theta. I’ll have to consider RSVPing just for that.
