A snarky new New York City tourism ad goes after low hanging fruit, mocking a Northeastern city that is about 1/13th of its size.
“They get more done by 8 am than Boston? Yes maybe more homicides, more robberies, more rudeness!”“If they’re name-checking Boston, we’re living rent-free in their heads just a wee bit,” another chided.The ad even prompted a reaction from Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, who was happy as a clam to promote the chowder mecca of New England.
“If there is anything Bostonians are good at, it is not giving a care what New Yorkers think of us,” the Democrat teased Tuesday. “I’m proud to be on this side of things, and, um, we do what we do. We win, we save lives, we save the planet, and we do that 24 hours a day,” she continued,Even some New Yorkers were admittedly miffed by the ad, as they pointed out the joke could backfire.
