New Ads

I decided to bring this topic back. Please don't think I'm telling you guys how to run this site in any way. Anyway I was thinking we should get rid of a banners, like Punching out George Bush. I think the banner with shooting the cowboy is a lot better. Maybe we could bring back the evil Kangaroo. How about a new ad, Hit the Diver and knock them in the water. I think that would be a good advertisement ad.

I don't think they choose what they have.

Buy the premium.

What are the actual odds on getting a free X-box on an ad like that? They always advertise it in big letters but just what is the chance of getting one.

Slim, I'm sure.

Doesnt that annoy you guys though seeing an Ad with George Bush and punching him out? I mean come he can't be that bad of a president.

If it was an ad featuring Al Gore or Al Sharpton, holy hell would be raised but since it's a conservative white guy,it's fine. Sadly it's the state of big media these days.

I say this with love and as a conservative, white Republican who happily voted for George W. Bush twice ...

Please give me a break. Any President is automatically open for humor, satire, parody, etc. Anyone ever hear a Bill Clinton joke?

Insert Lewinski/cigar joke here. It's nuke-u-lar!

I wish, instead of George W Bush, it was Hillary Clinton, but what can you do? As someone who is a white conservative male who also voted for Bush, I am not offended, nor do I care. I laugh at MAD Magazine when they make fun of him. (Yeah, I still get MAD.)

People need to keep a sense of humor. Seriously. *** Edited 8/1/2005 8:32:24 PM UTC by bholcomb***

I think that labeling the pictures would be helpful. I don't mean every picture because I can imagine how long that would take, but mainly pictures of people. For example, at the ribbon cutting ceremony for maXair, saying who the people at the podium were would be helpful because I had no idea who they were.

It's time consuming, but that's not a bad idea.

Walt not even on a picture just maybe have a web page showing a pic of the person, a little description and that would be great.

Well if they told who the people were then they would have to give other discriptions. For example this man from Cleveland Ohio, and this man from Flint Michigan.

How about a new ad that could replace the Bush Ad, why not put in a offer to pay for so many CDs for a $1.00, I've seen advertisements like that come in the mail before and that would be something fun to click on.

They wouldn't have to label everyone who is in the pictures, but for events like the maXair opening, it would be cool since it would allow people to see who is who and why they are important enough to be speaking at a CP press conference.

The other idea of having a "bio page" for the CP corporate movers and shakers wouldn't be bad either. It would allow enthusiasts a chance to actually recognize someone at the park.

Jugga, you got the right idea. I just saw a picture of Mr. Kinzel for the first time ever a few weeks ago, I went on Google and typed in Dick Kinzel and got nothing, so I tried Richard Kinzel and got it. Later when I was looking through the gallery here on PB, I saw a picture and realized who he was. I think the biography is the best idea.

I think more good ads to add other than the Bush ad that I think would be good would be like dating ads. Put in something for Eharmony or Match.com. Another Idea would be to add maybe restuarant ads, such as Applebees, Golden Corral, etc.

Jeff doesn't choose the ads that come on the page. The few advirtising companies that are around choose. Not much choice on what appears and doesn't appear.

Well, I believe Jeff currently uses an Ad agency (casalemedia). However, I don't think there is any reason he couldn't sell space directly to one of those companies (applebees, match.com etc) Its just easier to sell the space to one company and let them put whatever they want into it.

I hop you were kidding. When u click on those stupid ads all it ask is for your e-mail. Not like your adress or name or anything just so they can spam u with crap e-mail.
