Ok, those of you that were following Chris's (SRT8U) thread, http://www.srtconnection.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2102 Here is the out come. Woo Hoo. http://www.adrants.com/2008/01/ford-slaps-brand-enthusiasts-returns.php Congrats to BMC, Lisa and Chris...
I knew that Lisa would rock the house w/ that... GREAT JOB LISA!!!!!! you make us BMC members PROUD!!!
"misunderstood the intent of an earlier communication"... ahhh yeah right..... More like you were about to get a very public kung-fu kick to the ford family jewels for your gestapo tactics and decided to pull your head out at the last minute.
That is EXACTLY what I told Kris in his original thread. And it appears that was what the issue was, CafePress.
I don't know about being Idiots... but yes, it appears that Ford had nothing to do with BMC in particular. It looks like they had a previous cease and desist with CafePress over some other Ford brand/logo printings and CafePress did a knee jerk reaction. I can understand that. I'm guessing the calendar and BMC is a very small part of their business. So it comes up as questionable and they are probably overly sensitive at the moment. There is the very real risk of getting their doors closed so they just say screw you. I suppose they could have taken the trouble to run it by Ford themselves.
