I have no idea what to say. However, for $1M, I might have to think about it............

I wouldn't call it a "bet" so much as a marketing ploy. One of the conditions was for the streaker to have the company name on their torso, and it had to be captured on video. Considering a 30 second SB ad costs more than $2MM, the *cough* exposure the company is getting has to be worth at least as much as a million dollars of traditional advertising.

I won't name the company because that would reward this stunt. Also, they don't have the minimum number of posts. :lol:

I think they should pay him the $1 mil.

After all, he did meet the bare minimum requirements!

Yep, give him the money....the advertising worked, the name was posted on Yahoo's news online......contract fulfilled......perhaps the Secret Service should sign affidavits that support the fact he did have the website prominently displayed on his "whatever"......

Are you saying that finally something connected to Obama has put some money into the hands of someone not connected to the government or a car company??? AMAZING!!
