84 Lumber
« on: February 06, 2017, 03:28:57 AM »
I gotta say, when I heard about 84 Lumber and controversial ad, this isn't what i thought I'd see. I don't even remember the edited version of this.

I wonder if 84 Lumber has a contract for building materials for the wall?

The executive order was signed 10 days ago, pretty safe to say that the bid process hasn't been initiated yet given how it's going to be paid for hasn't been finalized.

I could see them losing the bid and then blasting them like that like sour grapes.

Seems calculated IMO. They probably expect to make way more by selling lumber to contractors/laborers than wall building materials.

They probably cut out the careful vetting procedure due to time constraints. Wall was sexy as hell tho.

Interesting advertising strategy. 4 or 5 ads seemed design to piss off about 80% of the demographic that actually watches the Super Bowl, but I guess the calculation is that they'll pay dividends because of all the liberals who will now decide to buy an Audi or shop at 84 Lumber (never heard of it).... because they ran an ad designed to piss off people who watch the Super Bowl.

I don't think that's a good strategy. Probably better to target ads at people who actually watch the Super Bowl. But I'm not an advertising genius or a CEO with money to spend and an agenda to push.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

So are they wanting to sell lumber? Are they wanting rich people to build walls around their land.to keep out undesirables? Are they saying it is America's duty to provide social welfare to the world's poor?  I think it is last one.  If so, should our policy be we take away the benefits going to a bontified poor American and give it to an illegal alien, net budget nuetral.

You think 80% of the 111 million people who watched the Super Bowl are Trump supporters?

It was a well done commercial. I was happy when they found the gate.
