Default Really Desperate

You guys must be really desperate to sell some hats, or is there some other reason for this? [:'(]

Its rather distracting.

Turn off your banner ads and you won't have to see them.

It's called ADVERTISING.

People have been doing it for years.

And when will it go too far?

RCU's adds are almost comparable to car dealership commercials...

When Gene starts modeling the t-shirts.

Didn't we abuse the "girls modeling" subject enough?

Come on have you watched TV in the last 5 years. You could almost call some tv stations soft core porn.

Allow me to quote from the show "News Radio" where the station manager was telling Lisa how important advertising is:

Let me tell you something, little Miss...

Advertising pays our bills, alright...?

advertising pays your salary...

advertising is what made this country great...

What was the Constitution of the United States?

No! It is an advertisement!

an advertisement for liberty...

when in the course of human events... I'm telling you... that's up there with 'Put a Tiger in your tank' and 'Where's the beef'...

Don't you understand?

Hell if it wasn't for advertising... you know what you two'd be doing, huh?

You two'd be giving out Sesame Street tote bags during PBS pledge breaks...

'cept they wouldn't say Sesame Street on them.. Nooo...

they wouldn't say that... that would be....?

ADVERTISING!!!

That's Right!!

Hell, if you two had your way there probably wouldn't even be any Sesame Street would there?... Would there?!!

There'd be no Ernie would there... Nooooo....

there'd be no Bert... bye bye,

bye bye to Grover...

bye bye to Cookie Monster...

There'd be no Snuffleupagus, would there?

and get that trash can... cause there'd be no Oscar the Grouch...



NOT TO MENTION... KERMIT, THE DAMN FROG!!!!

This thread is another good example of why year round schooling is a good idea.

Maybe not using female models is what is requested. I could pose in my lime green thong bathing suit with my RCU cap on. OH, BTW I'm 57. 6'1" and 255lbs.[]

A picture of a girls head wearing a hat is desperate? That is equally as arbitrary as saying a male wearing a hat is "desperate". Since humans wear hats why would it be "desperate" to show a man or woman in a hat?

See the Skyshark ad for the bikini!!

And go find a copy of the movie "How to Get a Head in Advertising" that explains a lot! if not only for the witty British humour!

Of course, we are startign to see 'advertising pollution'. how many bill boards do you pass to get to work?

After a long week-end, how many 'spam e-mails' do you get?

I grew up with Dave Foley on 'The Kids In the Hall'

Don't worry Smasher, in a few more years you'll like girls (hopefully) and your voice will get deeper and you'll grow hair..... well, forget about that. In the mean time try and relax about Marc and the boys advertising with the yuckie girls and concentrate on building models and your homework. You'll see.

I mentioned in an earlier thread on this topic... She's my first wife... Once removed

Or as they say: "I'm happy to say she's my EX wife"

The banner usually pops up in the Clubhouse Chuck.

I have a little sister that I might use next.
