Bill O'Reilly points out tonight that the Pony Corporation (think ugly athletic shoes) is now pushing pornography on our kids through commercials featuring porn stars. The only stores that carry Pony merchandise are Modells, Foot Locker, and Sears.

FReep 'em and let them know you won't be shopping with them anytime soon until Pony changes their pornographic ad campaign or the store just outright refuses to carry Pony products.

Thank god for Bill O'Reilly and the way he watches out for our kids today.

This is demented. We have to contact the stores.

[rocky88]

And oops, that's "thank God," with a capital "G!"

Which porn stars?

[rs79bm]

You have to think of the higher-ups in this organization. Why would they approve something like this? Why would any respectable company approve something like this? What is wrong with corporate executives these days? First Pepsi, then VH1, Pony. This is just crazy >>>

O'Reilly said Jenna Jameson was featured in spots - he says she is an "active" porn star

Guys-
Sorry the "service@trainingcampstore.com" email address is not the right one. I'm looking for a more direct one for them. Just FReep the stores for now.
-Sorry.

I'm not familiar with the other two stores, but as far as Sears is concerned, this outfit is down the tubes. Home Depot took over appliances and other essential items for the home and Wal-Mart took over clothing, small appliances, etc. Sears is breathing its last breath and grasping at straws.

Exactly how are they tying porn in with athletic shoes? This seems like an awfully strange ad campaign. What possible reason could they want to use porn stars to sell shoes?

>>What possible reason could they want to use porn stars to sell shoes?<<


They're targeting teenage boys! If your target demo was led around by its raging hormones, how else would you get their busines? It's all about brand awareness. When you think athletic shoes, what three brands do you think of first? That's right. Probably not Pony. They were somewhat big in the late 70's or even the early 80's maybe, but have not been popular since...until now.

Freeped! With much disgust! Thanks rocky88 and Mr. O'Reilly.

[Lancey Howard]

Sheesh.
Whatever happened to Keds and PF Flyers?
For me the choice was black and white.
High-top, of course.

And how would YOUR kids know she was a PORN star if that idiot O'Reilly didn't tell them..???

That is one of the biggest idiots to ever hit TV..!!!

[Atlas Sneezed]

O'Reilly can't resist anything involving teens and sex. Really. He is boring and repetitive as hell whenever there is some high school sex scandal.

The word would get around, freddy. Teens talk and little sisters and brothers hear. O'Reilly is definitely not an idiot. He's a man of principle who sees our mainstream society slipping into a cesspool, and it is being done by bombarding kids and teens with kinky sex wherever they turn. ("Pony" wants people to think "Porny" and buy their stuff.) It's nothing new (remember Calvin Kline's soft porn/pedophilic ads), but now it's blatant, in-your-face advertising.

Don't know many teenage boys, do ya'?

The reality is, these kids wouldn't know who Bill O'Reilly was unless Jenna Jamison told them.

[Lessismore]

When I do a search on "pony" & "porn", I don't get anything about shoes.

[uncitizen]

If O'reilly's on this, Pony Corp is GOING DOWN!
