Joey, obviously you don't have the hang of this spokesmodel thing yet. (And by the way, this discussion is happening here, on AZ, in the Main Forum -- not on some other web site where, as Aunty points out, they don't seem to do much of a job answering questions anyway
Back to the spokesmodel thing, take a look at what you've been doing, just in this thread. You've opined that players at all levels should be "lining up to get a piece..." That Galveston may be "THE MOST SPECTACULAR EVENT OF THE DECADE." Personally sworn that there is no IPT involvement. And said in one instance that you expected a player to be there while exhorting one and all to support the event.
IMO, when a spokesmodel goes from just presenting the facts, to advocating support, based upon what appears to be pure speculation, it is incumbent upon the spokesmodel to provide some rationale rooted in fact, for the urged support. Otherwise, (particularly when looking at the manner in which you're touting this whole thing) you are no better than the man in front of the tent on the midway
"Now folks, behind this curtain you are going to see the most bizarre attraction you have ever seen — and I'm going to introduce her to you all right now. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Galveston! This beautiful lady is our star attraction, but she is so unusual we are banned from advertising her on the outside. And since she is not advertised on the outside, she is not included in your general admission ticket, there is an extra charge for what you are about to see. We make no apology for this policy, because when Galveston goes behind this curtain, and you go with her, you are going to view her entire body, and you will plainly see that, in fact: This may be the greatest pool event of the decade! You've heard your neighbors talking about a billion dollars in prize money -- now you will see Galveston in its entirety, as bare as my right hand that you see before you right here. Now you must be between 18 and 80 years old or older to enter, because if you're under 18 you wouldn't understand it, and if you're over 80 you couldn't stand it. And since we do not wish to embarrass any of you sensitive folks, we have erected a partition down the center of the tent so that the men and women will be separated as they enter. The ladies will go to the right and the men to the left. When you enter I want you to go right up to the edge of the stage. Get as close as you can so that you can see Galveston in every detail as she displays herself to you, unadorned, unashamed, unlike anything you have ever seen before. The fee for this attraction is $200, it's time to go in right now. And those of you who are under 18 years of age, please step down to the other end of the tent where you will be entertained by our magician on the main stage."
So, Joey, you got any facts? Or just the smoke and mirrors?
