WIJG on Pirates scoreboard UPDATE

Posted by richrobinson 11 years, 8 months ago to The Gulch: General

I paid to run a message on the Pittsburgh Pirates scoreboard for August 26th. The message read "Who is John Galt? in theaters Sept. 12th". I received a call Monday saying my message was rejected. I was told it was an ad and they want messages only. I asked if I could change it to "Who is John Galt" and it was approved. Not quite what I wanted but I still think it will help.

  Thanks Pirate. If enough like minds see it I am guessing they will start talking.

dang! are you attending that game? you could hand out a bunch of post its in the parking lot. then they'd get it when they saw the message.
What if you asked to change it to Who Is John Galt? 9.12

  I'm not going. I am getting a picture of it sent to me. I'll have to see if I can get someone to post-it the park.

  Thanks Eud. I don't think the woman I talked read AS. When I asked if I could put WIJG she was a little surprised. I told her anyone who read the book would understand. She said it sounded fine but she would have to check.It took a day to get approval.

  Thanks Jb. I guess we have to be a little flexible.

Maybe I'm just dense, but is there a significance of Aug 26?

  Hi Robbie. I was able to pick the game and the Pirates play the Cardinals that night. I figured it would be a sellout. I also wanted it to be closer to the release date.

    OK. I didn't remember that being a significant date in the book, but wasn't sure. Looks like you got a good match-up for your investment.

      I just noticed the dollar sign next to your name. Have you had that and I missed it?
