Attention Sprint employees

[michigancat]

What's with those weird billboards with the blue fountain? 

I don't get it.

[kougar24]

Where?

[michigancat]

They're everywhere.  It kind of looks like the Nichols fountain, but I don't think it is.

[kougar24]

Hmm, not sure. Sprint just launched a new ad campaign ("Sprint ahead") that includes region-specific billboards in 26(?) cities, but I thought the KC billboard had something to do with BBQ.

Edit: found pic of KC billboard.

I bet it was cyclist's idea.

Where did you find that?  It's obviously not the one I'm talking about.

I'm aware. I was pointing out that that is the only KC-area billboard I know of. Is your "fountain" one of the same scheme (i.e., simple text quip, neon-outlined image)?

If you can't get Sprint coverage in KC, you either a) live in a bomb shelter, or b) have the crappiest phone on the planet. Sprint coverage sucks in quite a few places at the moment (that's supposed to change soon, hopefully), but KC isn't one of them.

My uncle lives just off Barry Road and no one in his neighborhood gets Sprint.

Sprint Cub company pride.

<----wanting to know what real live's will be like's.

Must be option B then.

I don't do any coding, other than a tiny automation project I'm undertaking when I get time. It'll be very basic C++ stuff though. I'm gearing myself toward marketing and away from development.

I don't get it.

like "kougs" said, it's regional advertising.  kc's known for BBQ and fountains.  

[chum1]

Is this it?  I mean, if it had a fountain.

[ECN]

god knows she aint getting any coverage.

she must be using a demo phone.

[pissclams]

here's a picture of the billboard rusty is referring to from behind -sorry it's the only one i could find 

[chum1]

I've always loved KC's palm trees.

[michigancat]

Is this it?  I mean, if it had a fountain.

LOL.  Kougs was closer.

[pissclams]

I've always loved KC's palm trees.

WTF???

[chum1]

I've always loved KC's palm trees.

WTF???

To see some examples, look closely at your photo.

[KSU4ME]

My Sprint coverage is great, it just drops all the time.

[michigancat]

The billboard kind of makes the fountain look frozen.  No palm trees.

Those aren't palm trees, they're fountains designed to look like palm trees.   

[michigancat]

so, where the &@#% did kougs find this jpg?

[ECN]

probably from the art department at sprint.

he must have stolen it, and realeased it illegally.

[chum1]

Another with no fountain.

[chum1]

This will come in handy.

[chum1]

Anyone here know her?  What's she like?

[chum1]

Nevermind previous girl.  Tell me about her.
