The next step in the revolution: Full Page ads in the KC Star and Dallas paper

I propose we pool together for three full page ads in the KC Star Sports Section.

Page 1: A cleaned up, professional, appropriate version of the Matt Cassel Facts.

Page 2: A cleaned up, updated, professional, appropriate version of the Scott Pioli Facts.

Page 3: An open letter to Clark Hunt, stating our passion, loyalty, and struggles with the past decade of being a Chiefs fan. Beg him to make it right. Make reference to our having not drafted a QB, despite our obvious need to.
***If we pool enough money, run a full page of this in the Dallas Newspaper as well. Would be nice to stick it in Clark's backyard.***

In regards to the "Print is Dead" excuse - this idea is more about the coverage the ad gets than the ad itself.

Quote:

An ad is a whole page of text and facts.

If picked up by national media (it most certainly would); the ad itself serves as the press release for which the reporters will base their stories on. These stories will be put online, and links will be sent and it will go viral that way.

A billboard, if the story is picked up, makes for a cool image, with a short, yet blunt message. The reporters will be left to create their own opinions and I think the message will be lost when communicated to the masses.

I think that blunt image was already communicated via the airplane banner. The detailed ad is a different approach, with a different angle.

PR Capone, here's looking at you.

We need to form some goddamn picket lines.

You obviously have no idea what full page ads cost.

Ten grand a page iirc.

Waste of money. And they are expensive as hell.

Who the hell reads the newspaper anymore?

Answer: No one. That's why major papers are going to a 2-3 day a week printing or have been eliminated altogether.

I don't know the exact cost, but I believe newspaper ads are expensive as ****. Also, a guy did this for the Royals over the Summer and it got a half a day run and not one **** was given. Granted the NFL is monumentally bigger than MLB, but I'd stick to more bang for your buck alternatives.

Just buy a huge billboard near Arrowhead that says SCOTT PIOLI IS A LOSER.

We need to embarrass this ****er to the point where he resigns.

Make him living in Kansas City his worst ****ing nightmare.

We need a billboard on I70, so that way fat scott sees it everytime he drives to arrowhead

The story is bigger than the ad.

You dont think that would go viral? Every news organization would put that on their website:

"Fans pay for full page ad to denounce QB, GM"

Ends up getting millions of more impressions than initially paid for.

Make a virus video. Thats what the kids do these days.

An ad is a good idea, a billboard would be better

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
