From how I see it, I dont think they would argue that. They know NOLA Mardi Gras is king


I honestly see them saying it because they know it gets under peoples skin here.




However, i am just a contrarian dick so who knows.......

They are just trying to boost exposure and generate some tourism dollars. These billboards are probably already generating their worth in exposure a couple hours in.

Combine this billboard with the 2 "University of Alabama: Where Legends Are Made" billboards right near the Superdome on I-10 and there are a lot of chapped asses around there.

The statement of Mobile being the original Mardi Gras absolutely gets under alot of peoples skin in NOLA



It's not though. It's more like an annoying gnat. They know it sucks so they try to troll with the whole we were first thing.

No one cares about Mobile Mardi Gras. Nationally, if you ask people if they had ever considered going to Mobile for Mardi Gras, they would respond "where's Mobile?"

Still a pretty funny troll though.

As an outsider, that is how I see it here


NOLA is extrmeely passionate about their city, which is a great thing


However, they can be quick to be offended/upset about things in which talk about their city or culture......


From the years of hearing the "Mobile is first debate", I always notice Nola people have to quickly point out a counter argument. If it didnt bother them, I dont think they would even bother really.




Just how I see it

Who is getting butthurt though?

You say they trolled with a fact. It's also a fact that NOLA Mardi gras is light-years better. How is putting a fact as a troll not butthurt but posting a fact in response to that troll is?

So we should all just sit here and not post anything? Using that logic, you surely agree that Mobile is more butthurt than anyone here by even placing the billboard in the first place. This conversation doesn't happen without them being so insecure about their celebration that they had to advertise 114 miles away.

I haven't seen a single person get upset about this.

No one really cares if Mobile claims it had the first Mardi Gras

It's CBS. They just rebranded a few years ago with their REIT conversion.

To the point of being angry, no. This is like laughing at your little brother that hasn't hit puberty yet trying to beat you at something.

I think there was mutual butthurt years ago

I think NOLA completely took over being King of Mardi gras, and Mobilians know the only way to get under people from NOLAs skin is to mention they were the original

How is that even objectively provable?

Even in this thread.

Is this your catchphrase for the day? You're getting repetitive.
