Jay, here.
You won’t find this city on any map. But it’s somewhere between Sin City and Rip City.
Only half of you can be residents. But it’s population is growing.
And once you find your way there, it’s really tough to leave.
What city am I talking about?
I’m talking about Snip City, baby.
Over the last couple of weeks, you might have heard the Snip City Chamber of Commerce (Oregon Urology Institute) ads running on Eugene’s ESPN Radio 1320 “The Score”. If you’ve heard the audio cut, all of this makes sense. If you haven’t heard it, you can listen to it here.
OK. So, do we all know what we’re talking about now? Yes, that’s right. As Bob Welch called it in this morning’s Register-Guard, we’re talking about the “Big V”: a vasectomy.
Produced by Prevedello & Associates, Inc., a local advertising agency, “Snip City” is voiced by 1320 “The Score”’s Sports Idol, Justin Myers, and is in heavy rotation on the station. If you like Jim Rome, Dan Patrick, and local sports talk radio, you’ve heard it countless times. Even though Justin has received some ribbing on his show for voicing the spot, I have no doubts that he conducted himself in a slightly more professional manner than Orson Welles did in another famous “frozen peas” spot.
Duck fans, “Snip City” isn’t going anywhere. So, anticipate hearing this campaign again next year, probably around the same time. But unlike Governor Tom McCall’s warning, the Snip City Chamber of Commerce invites you to visit…and then stay in the same spot for a couple of days.
Now it’s time for a shameless plug!
Are you an NCAA Tournament fan thinking of getting fixed? Been fixed? Don’t want to ever get fixed? Well, we’ve got a painless way for you to get your NCAA Tournament fix…Hoop Fix ‘08. Make sure and check it out. It’s free… and pain-free!
Regardless of whether or not you’ve “lowered your seed for the tournament”, this year there’s no excuse to leave your brackets blank.
