‘Protect, Serve’ and Advertise
- Share via
* Placing ads on Oxnard police cars is a great idea. I can see it now. Right next to “Protect and Serve” would be “Fred’s Bail Bonds” and “Beat Your Traffic Ticket! Call 1-800-LAWYER.”
Of course, once you allow ads, you can’t discriminate. Thus, we might see our police car bumpers festooned with “Impeach the Mayor,” “Free Charles Manson” and “Elmo’s All-Nude Dance Parlor.”
But why stop there? Why not let sponsors buy complete police cars? Then we could have police vehicles festooned like NASCAR racers. This would be especially beneficial to pizza parlors that want to bring back the guaranteed 10-minute delivery.
