PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Pirates, desperate for any revenues they can raise, is accepting advertising dollars from the Ku Klux Klan, it was revealed last night when a large "KKK" sign was erected in the left field stands prior to the start of the game. A guard hired by the Klan sat above it to make sure no one tried to remove it. Ian Snell, the Pirates lone black player, refused to dress for the game in protest.G. Ogden Nutting, the mysterious principal owner of the Pirates, did not return calls for this story, but his son Bob briefly explained that "the Pirates don't screen advertisers, other than to make sure their money is green." Pirates Manager Jim Tracy was unaware that the Klan was advertising at the ballpark. "I just thought the three K's represented Oliver Perez's cumulative strikeouts for the season."
Mr. Nutting's office revealed that Al-Quaeda and the Hitler Youth are also planning to advertise at PNC Park.
