What the hell!!!? Are you kidding me? Our city suffers from poverty and homelessness, unemployment, schools barely scraping by with poor funding, and lousy roads, but the issue you people spend time talking about is paper signs?

Why don’t you try talking about something that will actually improve OKC in a real way?

If Burger King is a corporate partner how could this possibly have anything to do with health and well-being?

Here’s another question, if this is a campaign for the ok health improvement plan, why is it partnering with Burger King and a local restaurant chain that serves beer and alcohol and high calorie menu items (I love all the good egg restaurants, but you can’t say they’re low cal).

Why is the health dept paying taxpayer money for such hypocracy? Did the health dept sign off on that particular component of the campaign?

Seriouly, coasters for beer glasses and a tray paper under your triple bacon cheeseburger?

Steve, nice job, get a list of more companies represented by this firm, list it here and let people contact them and express their thoughts, this is how change happens.

Steve, although I agree that VI should be given a good wrist-slapping, shouldn’t the ultimate responsibility fall to Dr. Terry Cline, the State’s Commissioner of Health?

Also, another question. Who is actually running the web-campaign? Is the Health Dept. doing the tweeting, or is it someone at VI?

Are you sure it was federal dollars? I heard it was funded through the Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust Fund. I could have bad info.

There’s a lot of bashing here about this guerilla campaign and Steve, you’re certainly drawing attention to it – after all, that’s your job.

But guess what? That’s what guerilla marketing is meant to do. So, if you think about it, they’re doing a great job. Right?
