You gotta give 'em points for ingenuity and originality.

I just tried the link again.

Look for headline "Not the Topless Car Wash They Expected".

Is that not what you get? Sometimes, comcast does weird things on some computers.

Yeah, that's the page that came up. It shows ten different stories.

I, much like Dave, was not sure which story you were referring. But I am not confused. All I needed to see was "topless" and I had to read on.

How'd you make out? You want some topless pictures with that article?

P.S. The link works fine now. I didn't even get the topless story the first time.

Well, I didn't make out.

Truth be told, not interested. But there is nothing untruthful about the advertising (that I could find). Ahhh, the power of suggestion.

Funny thing is, I think they would have made more money by advertising topless male firemen carwash. Women are as bad, or worse, than men.

I wholly agree with the first part. The second part, while I agree that there are many women I would rather never look at, it never brings me any joy to look at a topless man. I respect a fine physique in both genders...but I only enjoy the female physique...not that there's anything wrong with that.

But I agree. Many women may have hoarded the entrance to ogle some semi-nude male firefighters. Perhaps even some males...just not me.

All I was saying is that women would pay to see topless firemen. I think your reading way too much into that post.
