BTF: To Protect and Serve Tough

Didn't know if any of you have seen this or not:

http://www.bftrules.com/index.asp

I don't really know if really agree with this marketing campaign or not, but it is Ford Truck related and from Ford so thought I would share it with all of you.

It is a multi-media intensive website so I am sorry if you were not able to get on it.

No major loss if you couldn't. Like I said when I posted this I am not so sure I understand or agree with the marketing campaign. One of the most hardcore Ford persons I know has one of those little pocket size dogs, but drives an F-250. I even violate rule #1 as all my luggage is roller luggage. When I use to travel for my work and you are trying to catch flights at opposite ends of a terminal you will be so glad you have roller luggage. I did that once with regular luggage at Chicago O'Hare's airport and decided right then and there to get roller luggage. So what, I'm not tough enough to drive my F-350??? With my martial arts background I bet I could take all of those pseudo cops on in those videos, disarm them, and shove their batons where the sun doesn't shine. Actually I should do that to the lame brain marketing person and the Ford executive that approved the spending of money on this campaign.

OK, done with my rant. So did all of you think of it???

Carl - being that you can't get on the site, here are the rules:

1) NO ROLLER LUGGAGE
2) NO SCOOTERS
3) NO PUNY DOGS
4) NO MEAT SUBSTITUTES
5) NO LIQUID WRENCH
6) NO FANCY COFFEE
7) NO FANNY PACKS
8) NO CUTESY CELL PHONE RINGS
9) NO MANICURES
10) NO HAIR PRODUCTS

Here is the mission statement:

Built Ford Tough is a mantra for truck and owner alike. F-Series leaves no room for compromise. It's reputation for toughness has been earned on the farms, work sites and roads across America. So, if you’re going to drive the toughest truck, then you’ve got a responsibility to man-up and do your part. There’s a code of conduct when you’re behind the wheel of an F-Series. We’re here to enforce it. We’re here to protect and serve the brand.

There are two videos on the site showing BFT cops busting F-Series drivers for violating "the rules."

Well since you asked for specifically for MY opinion, I'll give it to you.

I think it is funny, funny, funny.

Suggestion, get Rich to change the title of the thread to NY B/S and Other Infamous Posts by the Frank and Carl Show.

With a title like that, bet you could get David Letterman to feature it on one of his shows.

I thought it was rather amusing. Although I violate rule number 5 (rusted nuts and bolts are a PITA. Everybody and their brother knows this) and possibly number 8. My ring tone is Pitbull- Miami Sh**. Sorry. I was born and raised in Miami and proud of it! HAHAHA!
