Because Reggie Fountain is something of a public figure, it's good sport to make fun of his personal style and all that. Fair enough ... you court the public, you take what you get from it. But regardless of what you think of Reggie or his product (Was it innovative or just good marketing?) the man has done as much, no, screw it, much more, than anyone, even Don Aronow to promote the high-performance boat industry. Only an idiot would count him out. Reggie came in like a showman, and as I have always said, I have no issue with the product, but just the antics of them as people. As a consumer, if I don't like or respect the person selling said widget, I don't care I wouldn't purchase it. |
Agreed...but I do love mine!

LOL, could you imagine how bad ass that 42 Poker Run would be with Cigarette's rigging and fit & finish? The hull already hauls ass, it just needs some lip stick. :drink:

Offshoredrilin,
Whether your or I "like someone" selling a given Widget or whether we would even buy it has no bearing on whether or not that individual contributed or his product was successful. I wouldn't buy Budweiser. I hate it. But I'd be a fool to question its position in the marketplace or the success of the brand. As for what Don Aronow would have done had he not been murdered ... With all due respect ... who knows? Pure speculation. For sure, he had a strong track record. But again, who knows? |

But again, who knows? now that being said, I will compare the business to Enron, by looking at the financial that were posted, the company has been looted and the economy will take the blame. I'm pretty sure that the fountain family will walk away being paid. As for Don Aronow , wish we would have had the chance to see. |
So, what does this do for the brand? I'm just a dumb guy on all this stuff.
You hear all the time about people BK'ing out of debt only to come back stronger & better than before. With the BK in Reggie's pocket now, how does he gain financially from it? By "he" I mean the company. I always hear speculation that there is some loop hole in the laws that allow one to get out of "jail", restructure a company & gain from screwing their creditors. Is there something like that going on? Sure looks like it on the outside to a dummy like me. |
