    Wow . . . Talk 'Bout Some Bad Publicity . . .

    This is not to detract from the massive human tragedy of what happened . . . but . . .

    How would you like this picture and headline running on the front page of the NY Times if you were the owner of JILCO . . .


    Trapped in Heat in Texas Truck, 18 People Die

    Now, I'm assuming that the trailer rental place had no idea what it was going to be used for when they rented it out . . . of course, if they did know . . . they deserve all the crap they'll get from this.

    The trailer had New York plates and it is registered in Williams' name, Shelby said. Authorities were still looking for two more suspects whose names were not released.

    Even worse if they were COMPLETELY unrelated to this and still got the misfortune of having their mud flap featured front and center . . . poor owner of JILCO must be pulling out his hair

    IMHO, I think it actually help Nissan/Toyota/whatever, because instead
    of using a heavier/costlier tank you can using one of these and still
    be somewhat effective.....just kidding.....
    Whatever you say Boss....
