Sources confirmed this morning that the hundreds of flyers for an upcoming “Race for the Curse” were not, in fact, misspelled advertisements for the similarly named “Race for the Cure”, but rather endorsements of a separate event.
“We want to make it very clear to all the potential attendees that this is not some running event oriented around raising money for a cure for the Komen Cold. It would be very unfortunate if anyone showed up to our little ceremony expecting a bloodless fund raising footrace,” said Curse Coordinator Jan McNair. “Yes, very unfortunate indeed.
In a recent poll, 97% of citizens who had seen the flyer reported that they assumed that the name was simply misspelled. Alexander Bostic, one of the few who suspected the “S” was intentional, told reporters, “It’s probably just some dumb new spin to make giving money seem fun. They’ll have fake ghosts or something taped up somewhere.”
McNair, in response to Bostic’s comments, said “I’d like to assure all participants that the ghosts will be very much real.”
