Pontoon boat and this current

[speck]

Bill, I see the sarcasm, but does everyone else see the same? Does TV make good kids bad?
I am assuming this is the ad in question.

And if so, then FLYBINDER, along with the motorcycle ads being in the wrong in that "YOU ADVERTISE IT, THEN ANYONE CAN DO IT" Well, then here is another one, and I am sure with a little more looking I could find a hairy shot of a BUCKS and an OUTCAST ad.

Point is the guy in the creek company photo is in a pontoon not a tube and he is not foolishly attempting to fish while "wailing" down the rapids backwards.

To me this ad partly did it's job in convincing me of the "toughness" and quality built into a product that he would do this in. But negotiating the rapids properly (not backwards and at the mercy of strong current) is one thing. Fishing while doing so is foolish and dangerous. I'm sorry to say he lost my respect right there and I eventually bought someone else's product. Older guys like myself who have had experience in these kind of situations have more insight than a young neophyte who gets turned on by the "cool" factor (Dave's ads are definitely cool. I'll give you that!)

Moderation in the ads would I think, in the long run, sell more product for N.F.O.

God Bless,
