UD, in all fairness, it IS an RV/car dealership. Those guys are nothing but schtick and slapstick. In California, we had a car dealership owner named Cal Worthington, whose marketing campaigns were ridiculous. He’d wrestle bears and tigers, ride hippos and elephants, kiss monkeys. And he claimed they were all his dog, Spot, in disguise. Musta worked, he sold more Fords than anyone else….
I am reminded of the war fought for decades by a liberal city council against a “big flag” restaurant in the college town where I went to grad school. It ended when the university bought the property, no doubt to house another four score and seven adminidrones. This is the same town that threatened Kinkos with a lawsuit over its neon sign. The sign in question was actually well inside the store, about the size of a sheet of paper, and said something like “Copies 5 cents.” Kinkos promptly knuckled under.

True, but who cares about laws, he’s got stuff he’s gotta sell. A cornpone knockoff of Goldman Sachs…
