Bloomberg Media Pr woman has not called me back so I call MTA
Mike Bloomberg is not a transparent mayor. Mike Bloomberg doesn't run a transparent private or public empire.
I am an artist and I dream of having my art as words on the steps of Grand Central and I want to know how much his package cost and how much it would cost me to have the smallest price point.
Mike's public relations woman won't divulge any info on how much his ad cost or the confusing text "Think Bloomberg" and only at the very bottom of many steps in the smallest font does it say "bloomberg.com" so this Orwellian ad instructing viewers how to think -- seems to be advertising Bloomberg the mayor as well as Bloomberg.com.
The line between his public and private empires continues to be blurred.
The people of this city have a right to know how much the ads on the steps of Grand Central cost.
As an artist I want to know!
I called the MTA's ad people....tune in to this.....
The MTA's advertisements are handled CBS Outdoor and I spoke to a sales man who told me in so many words my advertisement which by the way I consider art would not be accepted....I mentioned my ad would say "When Mike Bloomberg says progress, he means get your moving van".
The man speaking to me hung up on me. He told me I sound angry and confrontational. I said I am angry that Mike Bloomberg is responsible for displacing so many people but I want to know how much an ad costs and he let me know my ad would most likely not get approved and hung up on me.
I called back and spoke with a sane person in the legal department and she said I have every right to get the price package to run an ad. She said there is a possibility my ad could get forwarded to the legal department but first things first. She took my telephone number and said I would get a call back with a price package for placing my "art" or "ad" on the steps of Grand Central like Mike Bloomberg.
This woman from the legal dept. of CBS Outdoor was totally cool and understood my rights and could take my passion in stride rather than the guy that not only would not give me a price, told me my art would not be approved and before hanging up on me blamed me for him being rude and not giving me information I am entitled to.
Stay tuned.....
