So I just turned down a $500 sponsorship for the Tybee 500 this upcoming year. I wanted to get a little feedback from you guys about my choice....
So this guy that owns a website, similiar to most any "college student wasting time online" website (like collegehumor.com, ebaumsworld, etc) approaches me because sails are good advertising tools, especially as involved as I am with the college sailors here in NC. At first I accepted, and he was going to give me $500 for a 2'x3' graphic on my mainsail and a hit on the website. Excited as I was, I was a little turned away when he sent me the graphic. It was a mouse (much like Jerry from Tom and Jerry), and this mouse was humping a computer mouse. The website is
www.mousehumper.com. It is not up yet, so don't bother....Anyway, Tad and I think that it is a little crude/vulgar to display on the sails, especially around kids, so I just turned him down. What do you guys think? Did I make the right choice, or should I just take the money and roll with it?
