City Of Rockford Officials Shocked That In Addition To Being Considered Fat, Stupid, and Violent, They're Also Not Funny

Members of the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau were shocked to discover that in addition to their city being considered fat, stupid, and violent by the national media, their Misery Loves Company campaign has also branded them as unfunny. 

"My wife thinks I'm really funny," said the head of the Visitor's Bureau. "My great Uncle Bernie performed in the early days of Vaudeville," said the Chairman. "Right there in the Midway Theater," The Chairman accentuated his remark by pointing out the window to the historic Midway Theater, whose roof collapsed last March and still has not been replaced. 

But immediately sensing he had been caught in yet another blunder the Chairman quickly shifted ground: "Cheap Trick, Cheap Trick, Cheap Trick..."

This reporter could hear the Chairman repeating the words "Cheap Trick" over and over as he descended the stairs of The Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and took to the mean streets of Rockford.
