A public service announcement

I forgot this from the recap, but it really deserves it's own post. Tonight at the park, the Pirates were doing lots of things that were dog-related with it being "Pup-Night" and all. Scooby-Doo was on the scoreboard, the Jukebox songs were "Hound Dog" and Snoop song, and "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night. It really wasn't too bad. They kept the dogs on the deck under the scoreboard so there was no dog crap anywhere in the park that I could tell. It was good that they kept it to a Tuesday night that attendance was low, but all in all it really didn't seem to be a terrible idea. What was a terrible idea was one of the advertisements they ran. In a couple of week's the Pirates are having what they're calling "Pup Flicks Night" where you can take your dog to PNC and sit on the grass and watch some dog movies. Beyond the dog pies that will litter the field, the problem was with the promo itself on the scoreboard. At some point, the western world needs to learn that in most normal fonts, the word FLICK should never be spelled in all caps. Ever. Unless you want lots of unintentional humor to ensue. Pup Flick Night sounds like pretty boring, run of the mill stuff. PUP FLICK NIGHT is another story all together. Or perhaps I'm just one sick flick myself.
