There is nothing inspiring about Salt Lake therefore I question the veracity of their entire statement.
That embodies every evil and uneducated geographical and idiotic stereotype people have about KC.brewcrew1000 wrote:The New IFC show called Brockmire is based on an Announcer for the Team from Kansas City but I think he then goes to the Minor Leagues for saying bad stuff over the air.

This one might be worse, saw this in the route map of the Aer Lingus Airlines Magazine. Look at page 140-141. It just says "Kansas" for the city name.NorthOak wrote:That embodies every evil and uneducated geographical and idiotic stereotype people have about KC.brewcrew1000 wrote:The New IFC show called Brockmire is based on an Announcer for the Team from Kansas City but I think he then goes to the Minor Leagues for saying bad stuff over the air.

In 2007 KC is playing Boston but the team jersey everyone is wearing just says "Kansas" on it instead of Kansas City.
The announcer wears a hick polyester jacket and has a vocal twang that's neither southern nor Midwestern - it's just "idiot."
This is super common in Europe, where they aren't in the habit of appending "City" to the name of their cities. I mean even Americans often just refer to "New York" and drop "City." Europeans will also refer to "Kansas" (City), "Oklahoma" (City), etc. Weird to note that on that particular map it does name "Oklahoma City" and "Salt Lake City," though.brewcrew1000 wrote:This one might be worse, saw this in the route map of the Aer Lingus Airlines Magazine.

I worked with some guys from India that did this too. After correcting them a few times I just gave up.phuqueue wrote:This is super common in Europe, where they aren't in the habit of appending "City" to the name of their cities.

Nice catch.WSPanic wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQBh3WS1kUkThe skyline backdrop is KC - looking at it from the south. The cars in the commercial appear to be somewhere else. The skyline itself is pre Sprint/P&L. I guess it's nice that some creative person somewhere thought our skyline was aesthetically pleasing enough to drop behind a national spot.
Thank you for posting this! My friend insisted I was imagining things when I saw this commercial in a bar last night.kcjak wrote:National commercial per this https://cityscenekc.com/hyundai-uses-do ... l-sort-of/
No. You're not understanding. You think it is always about actual distance/depth when it is not.pash wrote:I don't think that's how nearsightedness works. ...NorthOak wrote:I've seen that commercial and due to my nearsightedness only noticed the buildings in front.

People with myopia can have difficulty clearly seeing a movie or TV screen or the whiteboard in school.
