Well, at least you aren’t who this marketing campaign is aimed at.

Most of the office was met fans, we road tripped to Philly, had company outings (picnic area baby!).

he mentioned it because he has a 13 YO that is just becoming a fan and is conflicted (mom is a yankee fan). He was amazed to hear is father describe the old days, and that so many of us were met fans. Just not something a 13 YO in NY really understands now.

One of my greatest possessions is the coffee table book “The New York Mets” by George Kalinsky with an introduction by Gov. Mario Cuomo. My son gave it to me one Christmas along with the neatsest NY Met hat I’ve ever seen. Ah, I raised the boy right! Ah spring is coming and I’m in love!

In late summer 2009 I walked out to the end of driveway to get the mail. Some young boy – probably about 14 – was walking by. He looked at me and said: ‘wow, I feel sorry for you’. Took me a few seconds to realize I had a Mets tee shirt on.

They don’t call us Met fans long suffering for no reason.

The advertisers though got what they wanted as soon as the Times and then Blogs like MMO picked up on it.

Free advertising.

Now you have people saying did you see that ad making fun of the Mets? Before today I never knew of “Manhattan Mini Storage” now I do.

Mission accomplished by advertisers. Well done indeed.

yanks, rangers, knicks, Mets.

the rest don’t even play in the city! And pretty sure you can’t count the Isles as a professional team anymore (didn’t they get demoted to a club team by now?)

There are people who won’t think it’s funny and not give their business to them. If i made fun of one particular rock band in my advertising I may lose their fans who may also like the other bands I deal with, right or wrong their are people who are sensitive to that and to me everybody’s money is the same so that was a foolish move whoever signed off on that.

Not good practice AT ALL.

I told her I would rather take a crap in Manhattan Mini Storage unit than store anything there. Funny though. Too bad I doubt a Mets fan will use them now.
