Gun ads on bus stops - on KTVU

He was very pretty, too.

And he has this silky voice... put him in a room with good acoustics and he could do the voice for a men's body wash ad.

Uh, I'm getting confused about what this thread is about, come again?

Hmm I think that is advertising dollars well spent. Kind of a two for the price of one deal.

Step one: Put advertisment in a location where some dont want you to advertise.
Step two: Create legal contraversy.
Step three: Gain media coverage.
Step four: Win X 2

What a phenomenal public relations coup this is. NY Times, AP, Washington Post, etc, etc. All for about $10K.

Great job, Brandon!

"It's probably safe to say that San Franciscans are more afraid of REAL guns then those used in advertisements."

Thanks reporter lady, for reminding us that guns are still the problem.

Other than that parting shot the rest of the story was pretty fair and didn't raise my blood pressure very much.

And Brandon did a great job--it's about time that we have normal-looking citizens being the face of our cause.

Video is up on the front page at ktvu.com. Great work, Brandon!

... said Brandon Combs of the California Guns Foundation, one of the advocacy groups involved.

So does the California Guns Foundation work with the Calguns Foundation?






J/K, Good work Brandon.

So does the California Guns Foundation work with the Calguns Foundation?

Only when they are buying dinner.

Thank you for the kind words all. I have to thank my wife for coordinating the reporter and cameraman - she deserves a ton of credit for making this and many things we do possible. Also, even from 39,000 feet and hundreds of miles away Gene is a force which should never ever be underestimated; his counsel was very much appreciated.

Now, back to the subject.

Your move, San Francisco.

[Legasat]

And they got you in a monkey suit too? Wow, this MUST have been important...

[jdberger]

Still waiting to see the video - but I've no doubt wildhawker did a bang-up job.

So when we intimate that we know something about marketing....

The worlds best publicity can't be bought and it comes in situations where the other side looks stupid. Play to their weaknesses.
