Michael, I think that nudity is actually allowed if it is for Rescue. Just a thought. Don't you LOVE how I took that one, tiny aside out of your post, ignoring the gist of your post, and expounding upon it, changing it just slightly?? I learned that from some members of this List!! :-) :-) Now, lets argue about NUDITY FOR RESCUE!!

I swear, thats the best 225 my clients ever spent. However, what really puzzles me is that the people who are complaining.. where is their ad? I mean as long as I or my clients write the check, I can put anything in (well, at least those photos that show me fully clothed) Im not promoting breeding programs, stud dogs etc, in that specific lineup it was to show my string. Advertising comes in many forms. Todays media world is very fragmented and consumers are choosing to opt out on the fluff etc. Many times people speak of the "old days" like it was a golden rule, in the 80's we didnt have the media we currently have today.. including internet, list serves, Online advertising and so on. Check the statistics of any major newspaper or magazine, their Readership is steadily declining. Im not making this up, just check the facts. People are choosing to opt out. Essentially, what you read online is "old news" when you get your daily newspaper or magazine. When I spend my clients or my advertising dollars, I have to keep this in mind. The whole world changes, Shepher world included. Mike Lynch ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
