Stereotypes in Mono

Am I the only WGN radio listener who thinks the latest Old Style Cubs campaign with the supposed standup comic was written by a White Sox fan?

One commercial disses Cub fans for doing the wave, something I haven't seen at Wrigley since the '80s, and rarely even then. Another takes pride in losing and insists true Cub fans drink Old Style at the office ("What is that, coffee???"). Another makes fun of people who score the game while watching, as if it's sacrilege to actually follow the game instead of getting loaded on crappy beer at six bucks a cup, or whatever they charge these days.

It's hard to tell which is worse, Old Style for a truly awful campaign or Budweiser for directly padding the coffers of the St. Louis Cardinals.

But then again, perhaps intoxication is the best way to take in the 2006 Cubs without losing a hold of one's sanity.
