has anybody else noticed the annoying "Join Bode" banner ad on top of these forums? And has anyone else noticed that the pic of Bode makes him look alot like George W?
And that our little Bode banner puppet says strange things, just like George W?

I did see it and notice that it looked abit strange, but I didn't notice what he was saying. I'll have to pay attention next it pops up...

It says "Join Bode...the puking is terrible...but it represents a successful training bout".

And it's sponsored by Nike.

Weird.

hmmm. the only differece between the two is that Bode reads!!!!!

What did he do to his lip? Thats what gives him that dumb look. I compared to some older pics and his lip doesn't have that cleft look to it.

All in all though, I really like Bode.

Sincerely, Leaf #91.....no wrong turns (Join Me!!!!)

Regardless, Greg is correct...marketing genius at work again.

And I like Bode, but he really ought to be a little more proactive about the design of the marketing campaigns he's part of.

Or maybe this is his design?
