    Default The 1-800-AXE GARY Amphitheater

    in Tampa.

    Tampa's music amphitheater, formerly the "Ford Amphitheater" is now going to be called the "1-800-Ask-Gary Amphitheater."

    That's just retarded. Couldn't it have been "Gary Ampitheater" or even "Ask Gary Ampitheater"??

    Some companies just should NOT buy ampitheaters or be selfish enough to name them after said company......there MUST be limits!!!

    PS--I haven't even heard of that business before....

    Basically, it's a hotline directed towards low-income folks and is based on ambulance-chasing lawyers and questionable (to put it nicely) claims for injuries. Here in Tampa, many people refer to it as 1-800-AXE-GARY.

    Some co-workers told me about this yesterday morning and I absolutely did not believe them until I read it on one of our local news websites, and even then, I was thinking it was maybe a spoof article from that Onion site. God, it just sounds so ghetto. I mean, can you picture Steven Tyler or Geddy Lee saying "welcome to 1-800-ASK-GARY amphitheatre"???

    It's gotten a pretty negative reaction so far, but hey, we have hockey arena in Tampa called the "St. Pete Times Forum" and a baseball team that plays in a dome that we call "Tropicana Field", so what the hell!

    Sigh....Trampa, Floriduh. Gotta love this town. I swear, if it wasn't for the awesome strip clubs, I think I would have long moved on from here! LOL!!
