Brand Atlanta: ‘We’re broke! Come see us!’
August 1, 2008 at 11:06 am by David Lee Simmons in NewsWe’ve all been getting a kick this morning out of the AJC’s report about Brand Atlanta (”Every Day is an Opening Day!”) running out of funding. There are so many jokes to what has become a kind of running punchline source, we don’t know where to start. One poster on ArtNews recommended the alternate motto “Everyday is Closing Day,” while another offered “Let the Power Fall.” My own suggestion: “Excuse Our Mess While We Regress.”
What’s yours?

Great, can we make the whole “ATL” thing go away now? Atlanta was already ghetto enough before that whole fiasco started…

How about “Broke-ass nights, turn out the lights”?

here’s another one:
“Atlanta – Yeah, I work here but that’s not my job.”

Even Ray Charles could have seen this coming. This was pathetic even from the beginning. Creative Loafing has done an excellent job regarding investigative journalism, why don’t they do an investigative piece regarding Brand Atlanta. Find out what Atlanta City Council representative voted to help pay for this flawed “marketing” effort. Find out where has the money gone. Find out why Mayor Franklin supported this. Hell if Creative Loafing would not like to do it, then I would be more than happily to write it.
