dear vanagon/gerry et al

when the ad series broke in the new york times i wrote the publisher of the new york times and he assured me the advertiser had taken great pains to get a 68 bus... ... now it is is tv campaign and still the contoversy rages ... so i called the media reps at bank of america and left a message with them outlining the details of the argument ... and letting them know that for the campaign to have credibility they should stop offending the bus owners who know... i guess we shall see what the response is ... hey this vanagon owner is canadian ... i am just having some fun with them eh ... yours
