I have to wonder if the pulling of sponsorship from NASCAR has anything to do with the fact that their fans Booed Moochell at her last race appearance. We all know Barry Boy has a bit of a temper, makes me think. :rolleyes:

There's no telling.

I agree with the decision though. Military funding should go to military uses, not sponsoring race car drivers. That's some really expensive advertising.

Not to sound paranoid but, if Obama wins reelection, everything White, Religious, Rich, or concerning Gun Ownership will be an Endangered species! :blink:

It's about recruiting. Attracting the eye of the type of youth liable to enlist in the Army. Now advertising on something like MTV would just be a waste of money. I wonder if the CIC ordered this move.

I suppose that's true. I pay no attention to advertising, so I look at it a little differently.

Those are the ads that effect you the most, the ones you don't notice, the subliminal ones.

Nah, not me. Off brand, (non advertised) items at the grocery store. No name clothes. And I very rarely make a large purchase that isn't used.................cars for example. Never had a new one, never will. :wink:
