11/28: Project’s Giant Brian in 50-hour “lockdown” mode

giant%20brian%20with%20shaffee.jpg

With the Empty Stocking Fund devoid of $50,000 worth of toys and gifts thanks to the thieves who swiped them out of a City Hall East warehouse, Project 9-6-1’s Giant Brian morning show is going to air for 50 consecutive hours starting at 7 a.m. with a goal of raising $1,000 an hour to cover the deficit.

Sure, it’s a stunt to help get Giant Brian Carothers and Shaffee some attention for the new morning show, but at least it’s for a good cause.

And it’s been awhile since a local show has taken the marathon route. Si-Man a couple years ago raised money for Hosea Williams on 102.5 by holding a marathon airing.

$50,000 in 50 hours? Wow, that means every listener to their show will need to cough up $25,000.

Hmm…let’s take an unfortunate situation that someone else is going through and use it as a pretense to draw attention to ourselves! I don’t think this will pull you above your 2.9 cume, guys.

Amazing, people will find anything to b*** about. I don’t see any other show trying to raise money for those kids. Like the show or not (I’m not the biggest fan), they are doing something good for Atlanta.
