SACRILEGE
Tell me it ain't so... cities selling advertising on the sides of fire trucks. I understand the need -- but is there no end to what we will commercialize? Is everything a potential money-maker? (Having said that, I would be willing to sell advertising on the side of our 174,550 miles 1997 Dodge Caravan -- if the bid is high enough and the product worthy of such a dignified vehicle.) Really, fire trucks? "Sorry, officer, I was going to pull further over onto the side of the road, but then I was trying to read the Viagra billboard on the fire engine. I think they're having a sale -- but the truck went by too fast."
