OMFG - Campaign '09 - The Death of "Hotlanta"

Finally! A campaign worth getting behind: The Death of "Hotlanta"!


Most of you Q100 listeners have probably heard of the campaign they just started to help rid Atlanta of the nickname "Hotlanta".  The Bert show is doing their part by asking celebrities who come on their show to tweet about this.  They are hoping to soon get John Mayer to help since  he has over 2 million followers.  Their argument is that, not only is "Hotlanta" very old skool, but that no one really calls it that except for people who don't live in Atlanta.  I agree! ATL, The A, The Dirty South, & A-town are all more hip and suitable names for the city. What's your favorite nickname for Atlanta? Let us know by commenting below or taking our poll. Do you agree with the campaign?
