No Sex Please, We're From Minnesota

I heard the ads for the upcoming "Sex And So Much More" show (which starts today at the Minneapolis Convention Center) as I was driving to work the other day. The ads went out of their way to sound...not quite "tame". "Classy", something that you wouldn't have found on the old Block E. Words like "Inspiring" and "clean" popped up more than once.

"Hm. Classy, clean and inspiring", I thought, "something you might not have found on the old Block E or the Faust".

Then, the ad mentioned its special keynote speaker...

...Ron Jeremy.

[scraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatch]

Kind of like hiring Barry Bonds to lead a "Pitch, Hit and Run" sportsmanship event.

Hooters is not allowed on Block E, but a sex show down the street at the Convention Center is OK?

Hooters should be openning there in February.

Hooters appears to be ready to open a third Twin Cities-area restaurant in Block E early next year despite indignation at Minneapolis City Hall.

Dan McCaffery, the Chicago-based developer of Block E, didn't return calls Monday, and local property manager Sue Bonin said, "I can't comment at this time -- maybe in a week or two."

But Matt Enkkeli, manager of Hooters in Burnsville, said the new restaurant would open in February, later adding, "That's tentative right now." He said the Hooters would be owned by John and Steve Marso, who also own the Burnsville location.

Just for the record, Mitch Berg is NOT from Minnesota. He does not speak for us.

I would work him over harder for this, but my wife is from No Dak too, so I suppose it isn't all THAT bad. But still...

In other words, JB married up.

Like, 90 degrees up.

We can have a sex show at the Convention Center. But I can not Hack a Grit or pray for forgiveness at the same event. Is AM 1500 a sponser or is it ratings period that has every talk show host talking about it all day the reason.
