The proceeds should stay in this country. Like to shitville or somewhere hit by the recent tornados.

I doubt we will even make profit on this, so there will be no money to give away. Just give donations to the causes you want to give it to yourselves.

Ummmm marketing for a male dominated sport really only works if you use hot women, or the super stars in that sport surrounded by hot women. Nakid dudes really dont sell stuff, like ad space.

They certainly helped sell Old Spice.

Just because racing spectators are mostly men doesn't mean that could never change.

There are plenty of other sports with 100% male athletes, that successfully pull in tons of women into the stands.

Bwahahahaha. The Old Spice Guy sold product because we women LOVE the commercials. Fortunately my hunny already uses Old Spice, but just for entertainment value if he didnt, after watching those hilarious commercials I'd probably have gotten some for him to try.

I'd be down for keeping the funds in country, donating to a charity that would actually give the funds to the folks instead of lining their own pockets. Got an email the other day saying the only real legit place is Salvation Army...the give .95 for every dollar donated to the actual ppl in need.
