    I had some of these little blighters ring my doorbell trying to give me a copy of their Ragu-Press. 

    They said they were from The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

    Who knew that Pastafarians like ham radio and computers!?!?!?!

    Those photos are public and was part of one advertising company inviting to use it for free, I receive their email  inviting to work with them and use their resources,   We saw flex was the first user of those photos, if i'm wrong that company steal  Flex campaign photos.

    This is the problem with Stock Photography. I have talked to Matt and tried to reach out to Lori about shooting new images for this campaign but she will not return my emails.

    This is great concept for Flex but from a marketing perspective it needs to be refreshed and expanded.
