I live in Destin home to the military with Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field. This ad was at the entrance to the base. Billboard in Ft. Walton Beach What is your thoughts?

Just so you know, it was taken down.

Well they had a message to get out.. We Support our Troops.. and they wanted the troops to see it.. what better way than with the two things many men have forefront in their minds? Sex and country. It speaks to me as modern advertising... Too funny when you think about the mindset of Americans today. Oh wait.. someone was affronted? and they took it down? another sign of American minds today, do it til someone complains. Im laughing myself silly over this.. sorry Kelly. :) ;)

Kelly interesting but not exactly in good taste. Just curious do you have any buyers that want to move inland a little to escape the sky high homeowners rates. My sister is selling her home in DeFuniak Springs. It is at 185 Forest Oak Road. Here are some pictures and a Postlet. Their homeowners insurance is only $1,800 a year.

Sex and country? Hummm, never thought about. Need young men and what's the number one thing on their minds? Probably was working, until.................

Larry,

I agree that this was in poor taste.

Gail,

I got your point. The flag represents freedom and we do protect freedoms in the US so this ad should be one of them, right? However, the flag also represents country. There are more than just men in the military. I found it a little sleezy and disrespectful really. I guess others did too. Anyway, it has been taken down already.

Uh.....makes my head hurt to try to figure it out and still be okay with it.

Well I can honestly say I wouldn't be in shock at all if I saw the billboard here in Vegas!

Well, it sure got a lot of attention. Bad PR is not necessarily bad.

Renee,

Thank you. I live in the Bible Belt. People here cared and found it offensive. The billboard came down.

Thank you for your comment.
