BIGFOOT TO BECOME CHEVY CRAP !!!

It's true: there really is nothing sacred. In a move that, for us, is on the same level as painting a Hitler mustache on the Statue of Liberty, Bigfoot has abandoned its Ford pickup body for a new Chevrolet Silverado skin. If you listen very, very closely, there are angels in cutoff jean shorts and camouflage hats weeping softly. We know it would hurt less if we told you that George Washington was a closet communist or that Porsche was switching to an all front-wheel drive portfolio, but there it is. For 35 years, Bigfoot was synonymous with the Blue Oval, but no more.

The truck helped launch monster trucks into the public eye, but Ford dropped its sponsorship of the team in 2007. That left Firestone tires as the main sponsor, and since the company also throws plenty of cash at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, it's aching for some cross-promotion. Since Chevrolet also sponsors the event, Big Foot will be wearing new duds and a heart transplant when it rolls out for the first time in public on July 7 in Anaheim, Florida. Yup, the truck will get its power from a General Motors mill, too. *Sigh.*

The one that pays the $$$ Gets the advertisement.....

They started saying who was going to win, crash, tear stuff up and so on. The Chandlers (Bigfoot owners) decided they were not going to participate in that. They said they weren't building there stuff to lose or just tear up. They were going out to win or they would not go out. The wrestling morons said have a nice life. Well since they were not showing up Ford decided there product was not being advertised as they had paid for so they discontinued there sponsorship of bigfoot. I understand both of there opinions, it SUCKS as big time as it gets but I understand. That is the short version of what happened.
