Phillyist: ORLY?

ORLY?

Can somebody please tell us where in Philadelphia this picturesque little newsstand is? Because we think AT&T might be cheating.

The whole series of these is ridiculous. I'll bet dollars to pennies that this exact same sign appears in every city in the country with "[Insert city here] is AT&T country."

In fact, I think we should get the other -ists to hunt them down the exact same sign in their respective cities, and compile them all into a single message to be sent to AT&T saying, "You've got to be shitting us." Just a thought.

San Francisco maybe? I'll bet there's a "San Francisco Is AT&T Country" ad on a Powell Street cable car making San Francisco residents scratch their heads wondering "Where in hell is Pat's Steaks??" . . .

I think that is a great idea!

Nice, so we have a confirmed Boston sighting. SF? Chicago? DC? Bueller?

It's certainly not LA. But I haven't seen it here yet. They used to have a "more coverage than spray on tan" that I think was a specifically LA ad (did anyone else see these?). I hate when they do this generic advertising.

This is at the 14th St./Union Square subway station in New York (on the east side of Union Square at E. 15th St).

Fascinating. I thought we'd heard enough of that sixth borough crap.

We really need to get someone to snap pictures of these in Boston and NYC.
