Baltimore's New Slogan
« on: May 22, 2006, 02:09:00 pm »
"Get In On It"
 
 Almost as bad as the Greatest City in America.
 
 I'm from Baltimore and I just wish they'd come up with something that people won't make fun of all the time.

I've always thought it was "Dork City" or "Dweeb City".

Sure that's a city slogan and not an advertising slogan?

Filmmaker John Waters said, "It's not catchy. I keep having to ask what it is again because I forget. That's OK. I don't hate it.
 
 "I get what they're saying," Waters said. "What they're saying is, come celebrate real estate porn. You know, when people talk about how much their house cost at parties."

I'll bet Waters' house cost more than the house of anyone who posts on this board.

It is really eay to say "Baltimore - Get It On!" as opposed to saying "Baltimore - Get In On It."
 I could live with that as a slogan.

I know what neighborhood he lives in, and it's definitely way more exclusive than my neighborhood.
