Do I have to answer that?

yes

Well I would have wiki'ed the sheep but Ming provided a picture all ready.

Re: at a cost of about $1.23 a day per sheep

"My first reaction was a smile; it is very creative," said Bert Kuiper, the town's mayor. "My second reaction is that we have to stop this. If we start with sheep, then next it's the cows and horses."

This is awesome -- as good as ads in urinal cakes in convention centers!

Only $1.23 per sheep? For a minute I thought Sally Struthers had become an animal rights activist or something.

**Dis** · April 25, 2006, 03:26

haha, funny I thought a similar thing upon reading the thread title.

This has to be a hoax, a belated April fools joke or something. And those blankets on the sheep don't look real either.

Good Morning America ran some video on it, and I've seen other pictures. It is legit. The ads look kind of funny in the picture, because they are attached to the actual blankets on the sheep. That way, they just have to change the ad message, and not the blankets.

Don't worry, Winston's been suckered so many times that when it's real he just won't believe it!

I heard the advertisers increased the number of sheep from 12 to 60 after the company was fined. Apparently the new sheep carry thank you messages to the town's mayor.

**MOBIUS** · April 26, 2006, 10:04

Yeah, that publicity must have been priceless!

**Wezil** · April 26, 2006, 10:06

Apparently the fine amount was less than the cost of an ad in the local paper.
