Tiffany Shull sells fireworks to Earl Jones at the Nearly Naked Firweorks stand in Puyallup, Wash., on Wednesday. Some area residents have raised concerns about the stand. (AP Photo/The News Tribune, Joe Barrentine)

Question: Would you be more likely/less likely to buy your fireworks from a place that features women in bikinis?

No, but it is a sure fire way to get front paged.

No, but get some hunky guys in swimsuits and I’ll be at the front of the line :D

Less.

No, but it’s a good advertising idea.

Hey buying fireworks is important business. I don’t wanna be distracted.

Oh dear. Exploding rockets sold by scantily clad women.

This isn’t even subtle.

If Tiffany worked at Burger King, I’d be there everyday to buy whoppers. ;-)

Brilliant gimmick. Nudity sells anything. Mostly because we’re such a prudish society…

Still, yeah.. I’d definitely find reason to buy from this stand.

Just saw your comment Kage…well done.

;-)

How do you explain to your wife that this stand has better fireworks than any other stand…that’s what I’d like to know. A “LARGER selection” doesn’t quite cut it, you know?

“Dad, dad! Can we buy some fireworks now!”
“Not yet son, I am still looking at the selection.”

OK, I have a photo male example of what Seinfeld would call “bad naked.” In fact, it reminds me of that Seinfeld episode in which a man disrobes on a subway train and begins talking to Jerry. In the AP photo file, there’s a side profile of a male who disrobed on a plane flight and refused to allow a flight attendant to cover him. It doesn’t show anything. But I was wondering if I should post it. Anyone?

I will quit harping on &^%$# like this when we get equality. Where’s the hot Avon guy in shorts and no shirt? How about scantily clad oil change guys? And my personal favorite, male baristas minus their shirts. I DEMAND EQUALITY!!!

Less is more in my book.

No. The btt crack of a couple days ago was enough.

I don’t want to see bad naked. Isn’t that what marriage is for?

“Isn’t that what marriage is for?”—LOL thanks.

@ Scootermom; I agree with Sisyphus. If I gave an award for those who make me spit out my coffee … you’d get it today. Saaalute.

“Dont be afraid to stare, Thats what there here for…..” - sign in background in photo.

I suppose staring at them makes you forget how to spell things and use proper punctuation, as well.

Heck, I don’t even have to be nearly naked to start fireworks at my house.

And please no bad naked, DFO. I’m still traumatized by the mother of all butt cracks photo.

Toad, the owner probably didn’t notice the numerous errors on their resume. Provided they actually have a resume.

Dang it keith…you beat me to it…

Fireworks? What fireworks?

Sexy Realty sez it’s all about getting attention to make the sale. There are leaders and there are followers, there is nothing at all immoral about this. SexyRealty.com uses the same foundation to get attention.
