    Wow. That's pushing it a little too far.

    What's next, the official tampon of Nascar? I don't even want to know what that'd look like!

    That's gonna cause some fights in the tailgates.

    The only brand of meat I've ever heard of was J.T.M. And that one is pretty easy to remember. I mean J.T.M does stand for "Jesus, That's Meat?" doesn't it?

    NASCAR meats...so...do they taste like tires?

    I had a weak moment and ordered the Official Pizza of NASCAR the other night. Generally if given the choice I'll buy the product that doesn't have NASCAR branding all over it.

    I heard Jeff Gordon wanted NASCAR branded Spam. Because he likes meat in the can.

    You're welcome.

    Racing fans, rev up your taste buds for the exciting taste of NASCAR Officially Licensed meat products. Whether you're grilling at home or in the infield, you'll cheer the premium flavor of NASCAR Officially Licensed hot dogs. Not to mention our wide selection of delicious bacon, deli-thin sandwich meat, and smoked sausages. All made with premium ingredients of the highest quality. So they're sure to go fast. Really fast.

    Somewhere, some poor English-Lit grad who took a job writing copy for a marketing company to earn a few extra bucks just committed suicide.

    I can see it now, a white car with some red in the front, and a string hanging from the back.

    Well, Zerin, it seems that not every product is officially NASCAR branded... yet.

    Female NASCAR fans can wear support on their sleeve
    Updated 4/7/2006 9:21 AM
    By Bruce Horovitz, USA TODAY
    NASCAR is nudging its female fans to slip into something a little more comfortable — and fashionable.

    NASCAR bikinis are coming this summer. NASCAR high heels and cowgirl boots are on tap. And NASCAR women's leather jackets are showing up in fashion circles far from NASCAR winner's circles.

    The sizzling stock car racing brand — which still has no female drivers in its top circuit — can no longer take women for granted. NASCAR might seem a boys' club, but women are 40% of NASCAR's fan base and 50% of its new fans.

    Sales of NASCAR's licensed merchandise have flattened at $2 billion, and the brand thinks it can boost product sales — and image — by courting female fans.

    Five years ago, NASCAR sold $84 million in goods for women. This year, it expects to sell roughly $250 million, much of it online at nascar.com, says Mark Dyer, vice president of licensing.

    "NASCAR is one of the hottest brands out there," says Wendy Liebmann, president of WSL Strategic Retail. "A lot of middle-American women — women who shop — are devoted to the sport."

    Some 51% of NASCAR's female fans say they'd opt to shop at retailers with NASCAR styles for women.

    What NASCAR's doing to oblige:

    Swimsuits. This deal isn't done. But NASCAR spokesman Andrew Giangola says talks are on with a major maker for a line expected by summer.

    Shoes. Roughly 35 styles of NASCAR-branded women's shoes and boots should hit retailers by August. Genius Fashion, which designed them, expects sales of up to $50 million within three years, says Shannon Hanna, president.

    Western boots embroidered with racing flags on the front will sell for $189. Some pumps, decorated with tiny steering wheels, sell for up to $239. "You can drive in all these shoes," Hanna says. "Even the heels are walkable."

    Leather coats and purses. Two years ago, Wilsons Leather created a NASCAR line of women's jackets and purses — thinking it would be a quick hit with collectors, then disappear. Instead, sales have kept growing. A Dale Earnhardt Jr. jacket — with an authentic autograph on the sleeve — fetches $250.

    Clothing. Before Lisa Heros and friends attended their first NASCAR race in 2004, they designed shirts to wear. Fans wanted to buy them off their backs.

    Eight months ago, Heros struck a licensing deal with NASCAR. The shirts, skirts and hoodies ($24.99 to $39.99) are sold by the company she co-founded, TrackCouture.com.

    Next? "We'd like to get into Indy-car racing," she says.

    Books."The Girls Guide to NASCAR" hits bookstores next month.

    And after sales of two Harlequin romance novels took off last year, the publisher plans another 19 NASCAR-themed romances in the next year. (emphasis mine)

    Evidently NASCAR wasn't satisfied with boobs being the ones sitting in their recliners screaming at the TV during races.

    damn.

    that chick


  22. 04-13-2006 12:04 PM #22
    This is one of the official PR photos put out by the manufacturer. It's almost enough to make me forget that she's the kind of girl that would wear "Craftsman / Hormel Sausage Links / Exide Batteries / Propecia / Colgate PlaqueGuard / Hendrick Motorsports Chevy Monte Carlo" across her crotch. Almost.

    And let's not forget the conflict-of-interest with the Dick Trickle commemorative thong. (I ask you, is there a better time to be a humor writer? Is there?)

    Awesome, now I finally have the meat to go with:

    And my kids dishes:

    To be set up in the mobile home for him to eat on this in front of the race:

    When I'm finished with the bbq, I'll just throw this back on:

    And who could forget cooking without this:

    Man, sometimes I just cannot stand the compulsive crap buying behaviour some people posess. Of course it is there money and choice but that doesn't mean I have to understand it.
