Another ponderable question...
Would you accept a free car under the condition that you had to have an advertiser's logo on it for as long as you possess it? I'd probably be too embarassed, but what about the rest of you.

Depends. How big is the logo and is it tasteful? Becuase unless it's some monstrosity I'd do it.Bug-Eyed Earl wrote:Would you accept a free car under the condition that you had to have an advertiser's logo on it for as long as you possess it?

Re: Another ponderable question...
Could I sell this monstrosity for a large sum of cash? If so, give me the damned car already! I mean, it's win-win. The advertiser would still get the free advertising, and I'd get cash up to the value of the car minus thirty percent.Bug-Eyed Earl wrote:Would you accept a free car under the condition that you had to have an advertiser's logo on it for as long as you possess it?

I'd take it, as long as I didn't think the product in question was evil, or crap.
I'd happy be sponsored by Tampax, Lilets, or Always.

I'd drive it. I can put up with embarassing product adds (I used to be stock boy in a drug store). I wouldn't take it if they were scam products though.
I figure if you were driving a car with large adds for feminine hygeine products that you would get more attention from the babes, even if it's to laugh at you. At least they noticed. Some of them are bound to wonder about a guy who would drive a car like that.

If it was a car of my choosing, I'd let them stick whatever logo they wanted on it.
If it was a Hyundai Accent or something similar, I'd laugh at them until I pissed my pants.

First and foremost, depends on what kind of car. Because if it's a fucking Dodge Viper, they can slap Viagra on the sides for all I care. If it's some hoopty or something less than a nice car, then I'd definitely turn it down. So, it's for me the car not the corp. Mainly because if it's nice enough I can just tell some Mustang Prep boy to come run the mountain with me and watch them spin out. LoL.
