Break Out Your Pittsburgh Economic Privation Jokes. The city said there may be no victory parade if the Steelers win on Sunday because they can’t afford it. Like that will stop yinzers from starting an impromptu one. Of Terrible Towel-swaddled newborns, no less! Or maybe just lots of celebratory Bacon Explosion.

LaFavre,
Don’t go using “Pittsburgh” and “Maulers” in the same sentence. Nothing but bad memories there.
Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.
Who needs a parade? Just go down to the Steel mill and crank “Funkytown” like every Friday night.
Shit, I fucked up the ending.
Wow, lot’s of info embedded in this post. Changing the name of the Steel Curtain to Bureaucratic Bullies or Mid-Management Maulers, swadddling new borns in used Terrible Towels, Pittsburgh can’t afford $45 grand for a parade ,a new, wonderful way to commit suicide and Terrible Towel disrespect. One man can change the Karma of the game.
mmm..bacon infusion…
To avoid coming off as pettier and more dickish than usual, I’ll just go with “Yay.”
Great. Now I have to leave work and go get some bacon and sausage. Bacon Explosions and heart attacks for everyone!!
What exactly is there to ‘afford’? What, they win the Superbowl but they can’t get someone to lend them an open top bus?
There isn’t much NEW unemployment in Pittsburgh. There aren’t many people looking for work in Pittsburgh. That being said an alarmingly high percentage of Yinzers fall into two categories: The Unemployabe, and people collecting “disability”.
When is this “Super Bowel” you people speak of?
@jackin’4beats: actually, despite everything, the local economy in Pittsburgh is pretty good. Not a lot of unemployed Yinzers.
WHEN the Stillers win the Super Bowl, they won’t have a parade to celebrate. I’m sure this will go over well with all the unemployed Yinzers looking for something to do other than eat another Primantis sub while washing it down with bacon fat.
/needs more Karmic Payback
This sounds like an invitation to burn shit down, win or lose.
In a move to top that story, the Bidwells have announced that if the Cardinals win they will have to find their own way home. The Cardinals can’t fly everyone, everywhere all the time. Do you think they’re made of money?
As a retaliatory measure, Jeff Reed ate peyote and peed on a golf course.
Why is the mayor of Phoenix using toilet paper as a snot rag?
Also, I believe that’s the first recorded instance of the words “snot rag” appearing in a headline since Henry Kissinger’s appearance at the Paris Peace Talks.
How the fuck do you run a blog and not know how to hyperlink?

The karma battle rages on!
Roethlisberger could just wait until June and host it in his pool.
According to the Post-Gazette, there will be an “appropriate” celebration.
I hate it when cities go all cheap-ass on sports-related celebratory amenities. Their teenage mayor should get a paper route and pay for it himself.
No, no. This is where you play the “Pittsburgh is so used to Superbowls they don’t even bother with parades anymore” angle. Then condescendingly ask people if their teams had parades for their sixth Superbowl win.
Anyway, making public plans for victory (even if they are plans to not make plans) is never really a good idea from a karma standpoint. Maybe Pittsburgh should have saved some money by not sending every single local politicial to Tampa?
For pure arson and body count excitement, you can’t beat a Detroit celebration.
One man’s parade is another man’s riot. I’m sure they’ll manage somehow. Besides, who needs a bunch of football players on a flatbed trailer when you can torch a Buick instead?
Things are so tough, New York City is going to have to combine the “Puerto Rican Day” and “Get Out of Our Country, You Dirty Mexicans Day” parades this year. Yikes.
rittle bit lacist
The Pats have also announced there will not be a parade in Boston this year.
What? No commemoration for the GREATEST FACKIN TEAM IN THE FACKIN NFL IN 2008?!
Someone got a word of the day calendar.

You should have played up the “humble” aspect, Ape. Missed a golden opportunity there!
