The American Way?


Sound OFF!
I've been seeing this billboard around on the I-15 lately and it just makes me so irritated! I'm all for free market, competition and supporting America's businesses and economy; but when did it become the American way to put down other competitors-demeaning other businesses and countries for goodness sake just to make a buck or to? Its undignified-incredibly bad choice of money spent on advertising. I'm sorry but I just can't support a company that would do such an awful thing. Wait, I'm not sorry. I'm 100% sincere in my choice to stop supporting companies that can't make it in this world without demoralizing another. If you have to resort to putting down others in order to drum up business for yourself, you do not deserve to stay in business. I have lost all respect for the sponsors of this horrid billboard ad. Disgusting.

Am I overreacting?
Maybe. Just a tiny bit. But still. I don't think its right. It's stupid.

wow. that is very degrading! I almost can't believe that a reputable (or formerly reputable) company would actually post an ad like that. I agree with you!

I saw this, I think on our way out of town, and I just rolled my eyes. You know, if they made vehicles that held up to the competition of their Asian competitors, they wouldn't have to put up stupid billboards. Seriously, I have seen more stupid billboards in UT than anywhere else. Even CA.

Oh dear! I guess they aren't doing well in selling if they have to go so cheap and low.
