World’s Lamest Baseball Billboard

PrintWhile I admit I wasn’t exactly overwhelmed by this season’s “Tradition” marketing slogan for the Halos, but just how lame is this new advertising campaign trotted out by the Dodgers?
A billboard featuring none other than teeny-bopper heartthrob Justin Bieber! Okay, maybe it was meant to be some sort of shout-out to a local celeb, born & raised in the shadows of Chavez Latrine in nearby Ontario… err no, upon further review Justin Bieber actually hails from that other Ontario, you know the one way up in Canada and now calls Atlanta his home. Perhaps then it was meant to be a tribute to a life-long Dodger fan who just hit the big time? Err, again no…
So what the hell could possibly be the marketing tie-in between the Doyers and an Atlanta Braves catamite from Canada? Believe or not, it’s because Bieber’s new album is called “My World” – which was then rephrased by the geniuses in the Doyers marketing department to be a vague riff on their official anti-Arte “This is My Town” advertising slogan. Suddenly “Tradition” sounds pretty darned inspired.

Jamie McCourt must have dreamt up that billboard. Analysis that!
Holy fecal matter...
that is the most pathetic billboard ever. Get a clue, Dodgers marketing. This is failure defined.
I love this team.
Ha, ha Rev Halofan is on my TV.

Deplorable
So do they just slap random pictures of celebrities on Dodger blue backgrounds? Was the photo even shot specifically for this campaign? Shouldn’t he be wearing a hat, or a jersey, or at the very least a blue shirt?
Pathetic.
They couldn't even superimpose a hat or jersey?
Alyssa Milano was wearing 30 different uniforms pushing team gear. This is more pathetic than those Post baseball cards where the team logos are all rubbed out.

TrAdition....
I love our new billboards, simple and to the point. We don’t need to cry about everything like the Dodgers fans do.

Hey! Calm down
They’re just going after the Chicken Hawk crowd. And that…is a different world.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
They certainly will corner the 8-10-year-old white girls market
They definitely just freaked out all the boys and girls playing Little League, if that’s what was the intended market…
Bad bad marketing concept

Son of Raaddad (13) practically threw up when he saw this biilboard
But since he’s an Angel fan and hates the Dodgers,
he’s happy cause he can laugh at all of his Dodger fan friends and how lame Dodgerworld is once again

I knew who he was
But I get paid to know… That’s my excuse & I’m sticking to it.
On a lighter note, this picture went out to all my Dodger friends asking if they approved of the ad campaign. Still haven’t heard back from any of them

hahahaha oh wow
apparently, there’s no level of crap the Dodgers won’t stoop to.
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34

This has got to be the stupidest ad campaign I've ever seen
Unless they are intent upon attracting preteen girls and NAMBLA members. Good job laying out the situation, QFR.

I had to Google NAMBLA...
Double Eww Tee Eff….!!!!
And I thought it was some weird offspin of the WNBA or something.
Ughh so I kept poking around their site...
…and they have something called the “Prison Program” in which “…our prisoner program seeks to provide moral support to incarcerated boy-lovers.”
You know, I don’t normally want to reach out to Doyer fans, but in this one instance, if any of you are trolling and have friends in the pokie, just post a story of a beating or shanking they gave one of these pigs and I’ll come out to Stabez Ravine and buy you a beer personally.

guess you didn't google Chicken hawk
see post above. It stuns me that the organization actually exists. I thought it was a joke.

"God watches over drunks and third baseman." - the Immortal Leo Durocher, predicting the coming of Brandon Wood...
here is a sick frickin fact
what is glossed over these days is that NAMBLA was bordering on being a mainstream organization in the late 70s early 80s. Sick as that sounds, they had news coverage that was sympathetic to their cause as a “political lobby seeking their basic rights.” I was a young teen at the time and repulsed by this shit. Funny how forgetful a society becomes.
As much as I hate "Big Brother"...
…I sure as hell hope some criminal law organizations (FBI, whatever) sniff network packets from that site, and bust some of those freaks.
I know all about “freedom of speech” but their site is simply sick. I rather have some perv throw up a site and call a spade a spade, but they try and approach this whole ‘relationship’ thing with such a cerebral saavy that it makes it all the worse.
As if they are trying to appeal to my sensibilities that “Hey, maybe it’s ok!”
Geez,
their website is blocked at my school. I guess administration got to this thread before I did.

Could you tell us a little bit more about your relationship with Charles Bukowski?
Also, how this sign is not vandalized by week’s end is totally incomprehensible to me.

Wait a minute!
The Rev actually knew Bukowski? Consider my interest extremely piqued. I’m all ears, Rev…
yeah...supposedly
he drank all his beer and wine.

when there was no longer a drop of booze in the Buk household
he turned to his wife and said “get the butcher knife.”
His wife asks, “Why do you want the butcher knife Hank?”
They had been drinking with me and a woman who was interviewing him for a magazine article. He pointed at the writer and said “Half of my wine is in that bitch’s belly and I want it back.”
The wife said “This is why we don’t have people over, you guys had better get your stuff.”
It was after 5 AM.

You know
this could be a play for West Hollywood support. In the que for a billboard — Liza Minelli (they could play New York, New York, no, Caberet after games), Elton John (I saw him at Dodger Stadium in ‘75 — he wore a sequined Dodger uniform. They could have that on the billboard), George Michael (outside the men’s toilets in McArthur Park). The list is endless for a “This is My World” campaign.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
she did not get that East L.A. tan in East L.A. but East L.A. bought it for her and now who gets screwed? Yep, the Dodger fans in East L.A.
I guess this happened this Saturday from what I could tell..
…and I’m not taking sides, I just find the drama of it all interesting.
But I wonder legally what the grounds are to keep someone out from a public place (the gift shop) that anyone else off the street can enter. I realize of course that it’s private property but open to the public so…
…is it simply that you can refuse service to anyone at anytime but run the risk of discrimination?
I think it's now clearer than ever
which baseball team owner in southern california made his billions in billboards.

With the current divorce proceedings...
…I’m guessing the marketing budget is now relegated to an intern from CoC in the media arts program.
And I thought my suggestion was outlandish.
I previously posted that they should have a billboard with Ramon Ortiz as their marketing campaign, but they way outdid my idea here. My gauge is showing dangerous levels of asinine.
I'm wearing a "Markas" patch on my sleeve this season.
What a great marketing campaign for the doyers.
That billboard almost makes those creepy Blue Man Group ads seem classy.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSIDE.....
