It may be time to hang up my keyboard and shut down this website. In what can only be viewed as a preemptive strike against The Apple, the Mets have unleashed their 2011 promotional video and quite frankly, it is hilarious.
I can't compete with the hilarity that ensues when you fill out your info and fire up this video. The Burkhardt intro, the 1980's McDonalds employee training video music (only available if you watch on the Mets site), the porno-level acting & Terry Collins walking down a hallway.
I wanted to edit this into something funnier but quite frankly it can't be done, though it could have used more star wipes. Here's the generic version but for the full effect make sure to click here and enter your info. Your name will appear at various points during the video and Sandy will actually call your house. Oh and you will also be permanently be added to the Mets mailing list, a list harder to get off of than the national sex offender registry.
What I really want to know is does anyone really fall for this kind of nonsense. I'm not saying you shouldn't renew or buy Mets tickets. In fact, I've already re-upped for 2011 because I love watching baseball. All I want to know is are there people out there who were on the fence about tickets until Terry came strolling down that hallway to show Sandy their file?
All articles featured on The Apple are fictitious. No Mets were harmed in the writing of this story.
