just one example of why Curtis is so awesome . . .

Below is a series of emails that took place between Curtis and JackLinks.com :

To: Jack Link's Jerky
Subject: JackLinks.com SpeakUp Submission
Category: I have a product issue I'd like to tell you about.

Question/Comment:
While I like Jack Link's Beef Jerky, I was extremely disappointed this weekend as I watched a UFC fighter which your company sponsors make a jackass of himself and your company. He was extremely rude to the fans (which includes me) and because of that I can no longer buy your products if any portion of my money spent on your product will benefit him in any way. As of right now, I will no longer be purchasing your products, and will do my best to tell others not to as well. Should your company decide to revoke your sponsorship of Brock Lesnar, I will again start buying Jack Link's products.

Thank you.
Curtis

Rus,

Thank you for your reply! I am really surprised you responded to me -
that says a lot about your company. Please send me an update in the
future and let me know when your company decides to pull your
sponsorship of Lesnar, so I know when I can start buying your jerky
again, and "mess with sasquatch". I really like your products, but
can't justify the purchase knowing any money I spend on your products
may somehow benefit Lesnar.

Cheers,

Curtis

Curtis is the bomb!

I'll have to let you know what transpires from this. If you want to be the bomb too, you need to email JackLinks and tell them to get rid of Lesnar.
