A common falsehood propagated by those who make a living spinning bad shit.

Yeah, okay. 20 bucks says that car dealership sees an increase in their business over the next 2 months compared to historical averages. I'll call them and ask them. I'm not kidding.

I could care less. If some Bears fan goes and buys a car just because the dealer fired a Packers fan, good for them.

I'm simply saying that bad publicity exists, and can hurt a business. If you dicked with me on a boat deal at your shop, and I stood outside the place telling everyone that would listen how bad you screwed me over, you sure as hell wouldn't do MORE business.

I'd buy a car there if the price was right.

For all we know, the tie may have been causing turmoil in the building that was beyond the norm, and called for some action. Whatever, the media wins, and everyone else loses. Sound familiar?

What does the media have to do with this? The guy was fired, the media reported it.

Is it breaking news? Did they supply all the facts? Will they follow up on said facts? All they did was stir the pot at the water cooler to make money. Same shit different day. I think most people agree real journalism is pretty much dead.

Yeah....OK.

tell that to Jim Alessi.

Or Rick Santorum.

Can we all agree that the guy who fired him is a dick?

I can't. I have no idea what really happened, or if the guy who got fired is an even bigger dick than the boss.

It was still over a Packer's tie.

Really? Cause that could be fun. I'll take that bet if you're down.

the problem is, adam, that sales could be up or down for different reasons. maybe the economy bumps up, maybe car sales naturally bump up in late march, early april, ect.

but it could be fun.

Before I read this, I just figured one or both of those guys is being a dick. But now I wonder if those two cooked all this up on purpose, and the owner has every intention of "re-hiring" the guy after the Super Bowl. They sell more cars. The employee gets a couple weeks off. Then they get more press when the employee comes back. Everybody's happy.

I will laugh my ass off if it increases sales.

"I'm buying a car because some assclown Packer's fan wore his tie!"

Then he goes home to kick his dog and beat his wife....

Uh oh! Neighbors hear the noise! DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!! SIRENS IN THE DISTANCE! WEE WOH WEE WOH!!!
