    "# The one company most responsible for the decline in young cyclists across the US.
    # By carrying out their Campaign of Terror Bell has chosen to misrepresent the dangers of cycling in order to sell helmets.
    # Bell Helmet has also paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobbyists to promote mandatory helmet laws across the US and elsewhere, against the wishes of a majority of cyclists who oppose such laws.
    # Inaccurate claims and fear mongering, clearly visible in this ad, are responsible for the large number of parents who drive their children to and from school even though they might live only a few blocks away."

    I can honestly say I've been boycotting Bell my entire life. I have stitches in my head to prove it!

    Er.....

    Who're the creators?
    I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's either :
    A. The Ad-men. The self same Ad-men who provide most of the work I do for my courier company which in turn provides me with an income which, I alone, then choose not to spend on helmets.
    B. Arif. You know how to use a computer because you spend a lot of time posting bollocks on this forum but I still think you've got enough free time to start a viral campaign or two.

    Am I right? Do I win a Bell helmet? Is this even a competition?

    Virii is plural for virus.

    Anyway, what i meant is that it's no surprise that a company (such as any) which is only concerned for it's own profit, will do anything it can to maximise them. Just as Bell fear-mongers, The CIA are behind coke and heroine and, last but not least, norton anti-virus suspiciously seems to be able to count an alarming number of new virii every day, being extremely quick at creating solutions to them all.

    Arif (or should i call you Osama Bin Laden) must be silenced, he know's too much... "I would have got away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky messengers..."

    Virii is a neologistic folk etymology but is not recognised by any major dictionary though now it has Professor Arif's imprimatur perhaps it will be accepted.
    And CIA is not a plural so it IS behind coke and heroine not ARE behind.
    Good luck with your degree; is it in leet-speak?

    I'm onto you ARIF, i just worked out your name is a pseudo-acronym. He must be stopped at all costs.

    :) this is why I like this forum so... Even though there does indeed seem to be a varying degree of hatred towards me, possibly due to my synonymous introduction with Count Basie, together we seem to be able to put it behind us in the name of humour. Yes, maybe the hatred IS the humour. But if it really were pure (and just) I'd long be ignored, banned, whatever, and the bike polo (or whatever it is you do) commenced.

    Now, for the pièce de résistance (how pretentious of me)... Will, you are infact correct, how all these years I had been duped. Sorry that such an insignificant arbitrary factor to our debate seems to warrant such extensive debriefing and thus places itself at such high importance to your values of debate. But... the CIA (as reference) IS an organisation of people, but their actions are in plural since they are executed by a (plural) collective, IS they not?

    And Zack, would you happen to be referring to the Aggressive Research Intelligence Facility? That is in fact a corporation directed by my Brother in Law, Mr. Rockerfeller. Yes we are all related in these high circles.

    their actions ARE behind, they ARE behind, the CIA IS behind. Jesus wept.
