CINCINNATI - Local radio station WEBN admitted today that the station may have accidentally told the truth in a series of billboard advertisements.
The advertisements feature fictional characters talking about WEBN.
"102.7 WEBN Stinks" reads a quote from Maya Buttreeks on a billboard off I-74. Hu Flung Pu writes that "102.7 is Immature" on a sign just off the Norwood lateral.
"I have to admit that we may have inadvertently told the truth in some of these ads," WEBN station manager Jet Gripply said.
Some area residents agreed.
"I saw the billboard that says 'WEBN Stinks,'" said Matt Lauer of West Chester. "I had to laugh because WEBN really does stink."
The Dealer tracked down a real Maya Buttreeks from Newport, Kentucky and asked her for her thoughts.
"Could EBN play something that isn't Bob Seeger?" Ms. Buttreeks said.
Ms. Buttreeks then cited the same tired playlist that WEBN trots out daily out like Keith Richards on life support.
"AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Van Halen - if any of these sound familiar, I can tell you what radio station you've been listening to."
When contacted, an anonymous voice from Clear Channel said, "I can assure you that this will not happen again."
Screams that sounded strangely like they may have come from station manager Jet Gripply could be overheard in the background.
