Title: Interesting Sponsors
Post by: MikeBjerum on January 01, 2009, 09:21:08 AM
Last evening I had the TV on while working, and something caught my attention:

Two sponsors during Shooting Gallery were Montel pushing the set of BHO collector coins for only $19.95 + sh (for anyone that wants a set or two - better act quickly, because they are going fast), and CNN  ???  It may be a DISHTV thing rather than an Outdoor Channel arrangement, but who the hell is in the "brain trust" that would spend money on behalf of these two businesses to advertise on Shooting Gallery?

I bet they are just 'ad slots' sold to DISH who in turn sells  them to whomever (like CNN and Montel).

I think so....DirecTV last night didn't run either of these ads.  In fact, I am enjoying the new firearms ads that always coincide with the new season.  But please God......Springfield Armory, if anyone is listening, change that damn ad which I've seen approximately 450,000 times in the past few years.  I actually mute it now the second it comes on as I can't listen to that incessant drum beat.  You don't want to know what the spousal unit says when it comes on.

Do you think that if I bought a set of coins and sent them to Bob Munden he'd send them back bent as keep sakes?

Brilliant!!!!     ;D  Hopefully he'll shoot them with a Barrett .338 Lapua for good measure.

He might just throw 'em over on that special corner of every remote range and ...you know...piss on 'em.

Did you notice the Crimson Trace commercial?  It's new (to me anyway) and though I appreciated the older gent who I'm beginning to look like telling me about failing eyesight....that was one provacative ad from Crimson Trace.

And rightfully so.

Only dead Presidents appear on real money. Is anyone else thinking about how nice that would be for us gun owners?  :)

That would leave Biden . . . .

Not a good deal either way.

I agree I am getting uber frustrated every time I see the M6 (which I have wanted for a while and they no longer sell.) It actually makes me extremely angry, Springfield Armory is mocking me every time I see it.....AARRGGGGHHH!!!
