Forgotten your jodhpurs, girls? Showjumping's desperate image bid

[ QUOTE ]
I feel that some of the comments and statements made in this forum are individual verbal assaults and wonder if or when these statements will be challenged and can the individuals making such statements substatiate them? If this is not the case I can only assume that the next law suit I read about in the Telegraph will be between 'show jumpers'. As a first timer on this site I can only give my comments:- Neither girls to my mind look trashy or tarty. The photos shown on the internet and in various papers shown to me by my staff show no more flesh than most of you would see on a night out or by some of the youngsters walking our streets. The fact that the media have chosen to show two very attractive young ladies in attire not normally known to your world seems to disgust the majority of you. Why? It seems to me 'the majority' are the small, narrow minded individuals in this instance. I was shown the photos because as an international marketing company looking toward 2012 we are always looking for new ideas/talent/and a marketable product. These girls have all the qualities and we will be following this up further. It appears that most who have posted comments are female - some it is hard to decide - I have read all of them as we obviously have to be very careful who we choose to market our products. In this case I have decided that apart from the negative comments sent by female writers there is no harm done and after all - any media publicity puts you in the eye of the public, which is exactly what it has done for showjumping -a sport we would not normally consider!

are you having a laugh? if this is your opinion on the photos, the comments on this forum and the public's reaction to them, you are no more involved with an international marketing company than i am with NASA. Unless it is international bad taste you market.

i must suppose you also work in some capacity for the BSJA.
 
Funny thing is that I was most impressed that their legs looked quite tanned. That shows it not real - 99% of riders, have very brown top halves, and milk bottles for legs!

I'm always suspicious of one post people, as said before, coming on here to defend the indefencable, you are clearly a man as only a man would assume all negative comments are only made because 'woman are jealous'. You clearly have no business acumen cos no marketing dept would be interested in this association of their products / services . In fact your defence is ridiculous. You are prob OH of one of the girls in fact.

What you have clearly missed is that people give honest feedback because we care about the sport and this has been an unfortunate PR stunt.

PS are all 100+ comments on this thread all jealous woman then cos your views are clearly isolated.
 
I don't think they are that bad at all.

Black hotpants would have looked much better though. The white knickers are a bit wierd looking.
