Default RE: PL Prod pattern babes

Personally, I'm very disappointed that our hobby has resorted to this type of advertising. Women next to airplanes does absolutely nothing to entise me to purchase a product. In fact, it does the exact opposite. If a company needs a bikini babe squatting over their product to sell it, in my mind they have short comings they are trying to shade over with the use of the model. If the product doesn't have any short comings, then why block the view of the product with a model draped over it? This type of advertising may be successful in beer commercials or hot rod magazines, but it really has no place in the "gentlemans" hobby of R/C aircraft. Shame on PL Prod and all other R/C companies who employ this practice.

just my .02,

John

PS, Yes, I do like women. No, I'm not blind, and no I'm not prude nor 110 years old. I just feel that there is a time and place for everything. This is not the time or place for this type of advertising.
