Will It Play With The Pundit?

Did you catch this article in the Journal Star this morning? I’m wondering how this will play with Mr. Billy Dennis, the Peoria Pundit.

Money quote from Peoria City Councilman Ryan Spain:

‘Will It Play in Peoria?’ still has some real good legs on the national scene. Some (in Peoria) are tired of the slogan, but the brand strategy isn’t for the citizens of Peoria. It’s marketing the city of Peoria to external audiences.

Apoplectic fit from the Blogfather in 3, 2, 1 …

    I think the quote is spot on. I doubt Billy will have an opinion. Bwa- ha ha ha!!!

    Bill hates everything and anything to get hits on his site. You could post the city is getting $1 billion from Bill Gates, no strings attached, and he would be upset

    I was NOT “apoplectic,” although I did have a bit of a hissy. I hate that cliche. Hate, Hate, hate.

    I would be upset if that $1 million from Mr. Gates were usaed to help build that damn museum. If it were going to The Peoria Promise, I’d be happy.
