Cosby is no Globe-trotter

Internet investigators over at theSmokingGun.com have given Boston another gem. The applause in Boston may actually have been coming from the Boston Herald advertising sales staff. The Cosby rider reveals that the Cosby has banned advertising of any upcoming Boston or Hartford appearances in the Boston Globe. Bostonist still has love for Bill, even if it’s been a while since we were watching Cliff Huxtable in new episodes. Could you tell us please where is the Jell-o? Bostonist hasn’t been able to find a pudding pop in the last four years.

The hub is not alone in the snub. Phillyist let us know that their papers have been blacklisted as well. They posit that the snub may not have been due to a tough year for Cosby PR but rather for the poor reviews given to his blockbusters like, um, Ghost Dad. A UMass graduate who keeps a home in Shelburne Falls, MA (it’s outside 495, west of 91, yes that's still Massachusetts) Bill still has ties to the state. Next time you’re playing at the TD Banknorth Garden Mr. Cosby, drop us a line, we’ll help you get the word out.
