Constant reminders of Upstate New York’s weak economy

At the beginning of the school year, we Syracuse University students were met with a surprise. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a winning football team or even clean tap water.

Instead, we returned to campus to find Centro buses plastered with the face of what could possibly be the reincarnation of the devil himself: Billy Fucillo.

Now, as if the Hyundai commercials aren’t enough, we have to see the man on the way to class, whizzing by with his HUUUUGE mocking smile. It almost makes you want to buy a car to shut him up (or at least remove his fat face from the sides of our public transportation). Shame on you, Mr. Fucillo! How big must one’s ego be in order to have his likeness spread all over town?

There’s no denying Fucillo is a cunning businessman, but enough is enough. How much longer must the citizens of Syracuse put up with him? It’s time to move on to Ithaca, my friend.

We don’t like you, Billy. In fact, most of Upstate New York would probably like to see your larynx ripped out so you never utter another word. Stop bombarding us with your advertising. It only reminds us how weak the economy here is. Oh, and tell your buddy Tom to shove it too.
