Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms

I haven't seen the ad, but was Johnny Chimpo involved?

Shenanigans.

My favorite things about prohibition is that it can all but be attributed to the invention of NASCAR and NASCAR is about the only sport that one can watch and fully understand while completely hammered.

I believe we call that irony. Beautiful irony.

Everyone get a load of this guy! He thinks car racing is a sport! LOL!

If golf and tennis are sports than so is racing

I was thinking that most people would say that horse racing is a sport...which is just NASCAR featuring 4 legs and no motors.

I wonder if Simms is down with Flova Scotia?

Keep in mind that Simms's #1 competitor, Patagonia, is loudly supportive of chromosome denial and other far left politics.

I don't have much use for it, but pot and all other drugs should be decriminalized at the federal level. It's not the government's job to keep me safe from myself.

As for the gear, Simms makes top quality waders and manufactures them here in the US, and the Patagonia-Danner boots (also US-made) are the best wading boots on the market. I will continue to use both products.

No one is talking about the real issue here; who in the hell allowed this clown onboard with a banana?!?!

*May not be 100% accurate in that, but you get the gist.

Wait wait, we can dismiss any potential of impact because it can't be specifically tracked?

I don't know which of my kids smashed cherry flavored lip balm into the carpet, but I still have a red stain.

Wait..Did you actually lick the carpet, or just sniff it?

This is one of those posts that I would make a joke about, that would get me a message from a Mod to keep it PG-13

On 4/20 Simms came out with an Instagram ad featuring a person smoking marijuana out of a banana. It was certainly a clear statement of alignment of Simms with marijuana culture.

Lots of comments and interraction with the post. Some were disappointed that Simms would align themselves with pot, while others made all sorts of claims about "better than alcohol" or "get with the times".

There's no doubt it stimulated lots of buzz, pardon the pun. Wondering if there will be any effects long term for the popular fishing/flyfishing brand out of Bozeman.

Thoughts?

The fact they sell bongs is probably even more clear lol

Tell that to Bud Light!

So like I said, there's almost no such thing as bad publicity

Ernie is wrong

I think it is just amazing how far apart the states are on this. I live in KY and the large employer I work for has random drug testing. In KY sites testing positive for THC will cause mandatory rehab at best, termination at worst. People I know in the same roles for the same company in California smoke weed without consequence or fear of drug testing.

The Simms ad likely garnered different reactions depending upon the residence of the audience. This thread has been educational for me.

"Everything I like is cool and manly. Anything else is lame" he'd fit right in on the internet

Do not insult the sport of Golf and compare it to Nascar

I deduced it by reading the text on the tube. Smarter than your average bear, as they say.

Speculation. Only one way to know for sure.

This is a common game at my house recently. Did the puppy pee or is it water? It's the best.
