Has anybody else seen the GT Bicycles ad in the recent mtn. biking magazines? It's a picture of two well-groomed young men in white shirts and ties on a door step. The one 'missionary' is handing some literature to the woman at the door and the caption reads, "We're On A Mission!". The literature is about GT bicycles of course. Very funny ad! I thought everyone would like this one with all the LDS discussion that has gone on in the other board. I went on a mission and am active LDS and found this ad hilarious! You know what? We are the first ones to laugh at ourselves if it's genuinely funny and not mean-spirited.

I couldn't find it on GT's website. I bought the magazine (can't remember which one) in one of the many airports I was in last month. I cut out the ad and it's dispalying on our refridgerator at home so maybe I can scan it and post it that way.

It is in Mountain Bike Action every month and has been for the last 4 months. Good stuff
