Sports-related stunts are getting stickier.
Pawngo.com, a Denver-based online pawn shop, decided to test the limits of the Bostonian sense of humor by dropping 900 pounds of Butterfinger bars on Copley Square in Boston today, according to a story on NFL.com. The roughly 8,000 bars were, of course, a not-so-subtle reference to the Patriots’ Wes Welker, who suffered a case of the dropsies late in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, arguably costing the team the game.
Pawngo included its logo on the accompanying sign that said, “Thank you, Wes Welker.”
Pawngo headquarters referred inquiries about the prank to its PR firm, which did not respond a request for comment.
