Dang, should've asked for a poster with the ecotec motor mounts you guys just got to me!

By the way, Gene, do you guys have your company logo in a vector file or something of decent resolution that could be printed? Whenever the MogRod does get done, I want to make a placard with you guys and the other vendors that supplied parts on it.

I beg of you to consider the negative moral impact this has on our young men and fathers who are trying to live above the corruption that
is running rampant in our world and who are endeavoring to keep our family units together while most families are falling apart.
Please consider your accountability before God in this decision to display this suggestive image.
I welcome your response.
Sincerely

I’m writing to voice my opinion concerning the recently posted billboard on Lincoln Avenue in Myerstown, PA. I find the billboard to be vulgar, almost pornographic in nature, and entirely unnecessary to sell car parts. Myerstown is a conservative, family oriented area and families do not need to be exposed to this type of advertisement. I trust you might consider redesigning your ad or removing it completely. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I currently drive a GM Chevy Impala but your ad does not encourage me to buy parts from you.

***********

Good morning…I drive Route 422 in Myerstown every day on my way to work. I saw a billboard by your company that shocked me. I could not believe that a company would stoop so low as to advertise with this type of immodesty and nudity when they are trying to sell car parts. I had never heard of your company and now that I have, I do not want to purchase anything from a company that has values such as these. It is definitely gaining your company publicity but I’m not sure it is the kind you want? Please consider taking it down as there are children, men and women who will be subject to this billboard who would otherwise not choose to see this kind of pornography. I beg of you, please reconsider your marketing strategy. I believe God will bless your business more if you bless Him in your actions. Have a wonderful day.

Hello. I called my local outdoor advertising company, Lamar to complain that the "Enhance Your Ride" billboard for GM Parts House . Com is sexually too explicit for our area. It shows bikini clad breasts close up and overspilling the bikini. On the breast is a tattoo of GM. The Phrase is playing on the idea of breast enhancement.
I won't drive by this ad with my 10 year old sons in the car. Please stop that type of advertising. I respectfully ask.
Lamar said that it is not their billboard. They sent a rep out to photograph the ad. They will contact me with the actual billboard company and I will voice my concern to them when I have a contact number.

Respectfully,
*********

Comment:
I am disgusted that your company has to stoop to such levels to drum up business! (aka your bikini billboard) I won't be servicing my vehicles with any parts from your business
I cannot believe how naive some people are. If you don't like it, don't look at it. By the way I would like a poster too.

I happen to be one of those republilcans (minus the prude), and see no issue with this type of marketing. I'll be calling for a poster today.

Gee, 14'x16'?? You don't need a poster, you need the actual billboard !!

Wow, that's some damn whining from them Pensyltucky women. I have a feeling they are feeling a little insecure about themselves after the billboard install.

Actually we can make one whatever size you would like. We would obviously have to charge you for a custom size one... but yeah, we can do it.

We can supply you with whatever artwork in whatever size or format you need it in. Our graphic designer has no issues doing that.

As some of you have read we recently put up a billboard off Rt422 in Pennsylvania. With that said we have apparently made every uptight person in the area begin comming out of the woodwork. Here is where I am going to share some of the hate mail we have all been getting. Will be posting them as they come in

Here is the billboard please feel free to post your opinions

I take a left and right. Please ship priority critical.
