New York Is Full Of Snobs? You Don't Say!

Hey there Broadway producer Nancy Coyne, we’d like to introduce your foot to your mouth.

Responding to the economy’s unfavorable effect on Broadway, the chairwoman of Serino Coyne – a theater advertising agency – attempted to point out a light at the end of the recession tunnel by saying:

“The good news is that so many straight plays [As oppose to musicals, which draw mostly tourists] are now coming in the spring, and I think New Yorkers will come out for them once the tourists go away. We├óΓé¼Γäóre horrible snobs. We hate tourists from Cleveland.”

Hearing its name, Ohio looked up from its Wal-Mart Christmas sales and said, “What was that?” and wrote Coyne angry emails about how they appreciate the works of Tennessee Williams too – how dare she!

In response, Coyne said, “I was just trying to spin it in a positive light, then I opened my mouth and put my foot in sideways. I do love tourists and I think Cleveland rocks. I’m printing up ‘I heart Cleveland’ T-shirts.”

Hah!
