Poll: Rob Roy Scoop Day

[aggienaut]

   Free icecream tomorrow. But while I'm at it, I haven't posted a poll in way too long. So:

   Knowing that "Rob Roy" in this case refers not to an alcoholic beverage or a Scottish cattle rustler, but the city council candidate pictured (who is also an employee at the local Ben & Jerry's); knowing that Free Cone Day is a national Ben & Jerry's Homemade Holdings Inc ("Ben & Jerry's") annual tradition; and knowing that Rob Roy designed and propogated the flyers like the one you see above (consider colour version, which is plastered all over the internet, as well):
[Poll #716467]

We could debate until the kittens come home, my two cents.

The only thing that bothers me is the phrase "Have a scoop, on Rob Roy," not really the fact the flyer focuses on him holding an ice cream cone. The free cone day is also a "platform" for KDVS to promote their fundraising but it doesn't say "Have a scoop, on KDVS." Probably because neither KDVS or Rob Roy are paying for the free ice cream and such. Just because there is a comma in the phrase doesn't mean it isn't exceptionally misleading.

Then again I suppose some people know that Ben & Jerry's always has free scoop day, and it has nothing to do with Rob Roy for Davis City Council. Maybe the creators of the flyer should have considered making the phrase "27th annual" in as big as font as "Rob Roy." Or simply left the "have a scoop" phrase out to avoid people coming and thanking Rob Roy for their free ice cream.

And WikiPhil's right, your poll is a touch loaded <3

At first I thought you'd have to eat it off of his body. While I'm all for eating sushi off naked women, he's crossed several lines. :(
