Felon Finneran wanting to help Deval

[Neggy]

Is everyone over on Guest Street, Home of WRKO, asleep?

Tom Finneran is doing this spot where he is saying how the Governor is having trouble finding someone to run the Mass. Turnpike for a mere 140K a year.

So Tom says send me your resume and we'll pass the good ones on to our friend Deval... no problem so far right.. now get this.. the felon continues reading the script...

"Send the resume to Finnerans Forum ( or something like that...) COURTESY OF WRKO, Guest St, ......."

COURTESY OF? WTF? How about CARE OF? I am pretty sure that is what c/o means on an envelope.

I can't be the only person who heard that promo today, several times, that is scratching their head asking who wrote the copy, who was the person working the board that didn't catch it in production, not one board op, producer, sales person, NOBODY said "Hey this makes us sound like idiots "

I've heard it before, but Deval needs all the help he can get.

Errrr...it's a gag. Guess it was a little too subtle.

Listen to the entire promo and you'll get the context.

I understand that it is a gag, but the "courtesy of WRKO" instead of "In care of WRKO" is crappy radio
