WIXers, you will either love or absolutely hate this press release from the campaign about the winning commercial. Personally, I'm not too happy with one Stephan Brown, quoted as President and CEO of the Commemorative Air Force, taking credit for the victory for himself and his 8000 members. Stephan, if you read this, when did you even know about the contest, and how many times did you personally vote?
A note of thanks from the CAF's leadership to the members of this forum would be in order. The CAF is enjoying a great deal of free publicity because of this. I am convinced that the vast majority of votes that were cast came as a result of the initial posting in this thread and the endless key pounding and mouse clicking done by folks in response to it.
Most folks who are touting the victory here in our Great Republic didn't even know about the contest until it was over. Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon now ...
This is all well and good except you have no idea how many members of the CAF were involved in the voting. Maybe it was all 8,000 of them. Maybe wix did not have as much to do with this as people here think. What makes you think wix is responsible for the win? This certainly isn't the only place that this contest was advertised. Not by a long shot. Yes the CAF is enjoying the free publicity and it is well deserved. Sounds to me like you just do not care for Stephen Brown and his organization.
