Some people don't like my ICON ad.

I'm guessing it's the robocop gloves with no protection on the arms and the brain bucket lid... Personally, I don't ride without at least a mesh jacket, full face lid, and full gauntlet gloves, but I'm all for everyone riding however they want to ride. So, while I wouldn't ride dressed like that, I have no problem with the ad, or others riding dressed that way... I know there are a lot of gear nazis on the net though. I'm guessing that's the complaint.
Is it in the upper left corner? Looks like somone shootin the finger.
All this political correctness is killing this country. Aint it ironic that its called "political" correctness. People running the government are some of the dirtiest, most racist people in America. Its kind of like, "military inteligence". The ad is perfect for the gloves. Not my cup of tea, but it doesnt have to please everyone right. It does the job it was intended to to, Awsome!
Well said... perfect to advertise the gloves, which is the whole point of the ad. It's not an anti-motorcycle safety campaign ad for Christ's sake... Definitely too many "preachers" on "crusades" these days.
I agree on "like the pic, hate the glove", too...
I'd say it's the $10 skull cap... That's the one thing I see that's irritating. People imitate art and in a society where so few people think for themselves, yeah i find the Brain Bucket bothersome...
Otherwise... Whats Up Stud?
Lookin all thick and sh!t....

maybe ..its the " sunglasses" cause he is x-ross eye'd .. behind them .. n the Humanitairians for Beutification for X-rosseye'd'ness are ..well ..lets say .. a "tad' ( peav'd )
BINGO!Its the nazi german helmet , Doesnt bother me a bit, and it really doesnt represent anything of the matter any longer , BUT it still does offend some people. I had one for a while, and put a 4 inch spike in the top of it, just for something different and a little mean looking to wear on the chopper. Let me tell you I was lucky to make it the 15 mi trip to work. Had at least 5 people give me the finger and someone tried to run me off the road. I kid you not, no BS here. I didnt understand it, and was scared someone was goin to get me hurt, havent worn in since.
The helmet bothered the guy. He was an African American Jew and was ofended by the ad. The following quote is an excerpt from the letter.
I just wanted to take a moment to drop you guys a note. I would say that I am a loyal Icon customer. I feel that I must alert you to the frustraton that I felt upon seeing your newest ad in 2 Wheel Tuner. The model in the newest ad is wearing a German (Nazi) style helmet. As an African-American and a Jewish-American, I find this extremely offensive. If Icon is condoning such a blatant act of anti-semitism and racism as a whole, maybe it's better that the more enlightened consumers take there business elsewhere. I understand that the model is of African descent , but his ignorance should not be seen as an endorsement by those that understand history. [/QUOTE]
I never connected these helmets with Nazis. Obviously they are German in style, but making them Nazis seems to go too far to me. I wanted to know if I was all wet, so I conducted this test. I don't know how we get past these dark periods in history if we hold on to such things.
PETA's upset about the bird on the tank. Geesh...just tell them it's a sticker already and you didn't actually hit one that was flying through the air. You can also point out that the dead cow on your back feels mighty fine and that the fat hefer b1tch died an honorable death for your comfort. Hey, where's my fur riding jacket?
In honor of this looser who has nothing better to do with his time but complain about non-sense, I would like to hold a moment of silence for my grand father who died in a concentration camp...
He fell off the gaurd tower...
