here here...while we're at it, let's start a lawyer protectionist council.
people just can't be allowed to voice their opinions anymore!
Can you imagine what it would be like if this went nationwide?
My my...would Fram actually have to rebate those of us who saved
the UPC codes from the boxes we threw our unused filters out in?
I doubt it, but don't throw them out yet....

Shouldn't "stand behind" be "cower behind?"

Hello All,
I know this is probably a little late for this thread, but I just had to
stand up for KC MGB at Fram. I think you guys have unfairly characterized
him as just some jerk trying to bully our guy into shutting up. KC MGB is
probably a freaking advertising genius. He's got the new Fram "Get Tough"
ad campaign. Hmmmm.... It would probably go something like this.
1st ad:
Jack Nicholson with that sarcastic sneer of his or Robert Loggia, with the
gruff voice and glowering look.:
"We aren't taking this critism CRAP from you consumers anymore. You'll buy
our filters and LIKE them or you'll be hearing from our lawyers"
2nd Ad:
Tom Hank, sitting on a bus stop bench (ala Forest Gump):
"Momma always said that Fram filters are like a box of chocolates; you never
know if you are going to get a good one. Mr Fram said that you better buy his
filters and stop your whining or he's gonna sue your but-tocks."
This is going to break new ground in the advertising business. Damn, this is
exciting! Now don't you all feel a little guilty for rushing to condemn an
innocent man.
