Admitting that the promotion has not been as successful as they would have hoped, salespeople at Mattingly Perkins Automotive told reporters Wednesday that they are giving serious thought to putting an end to the car dealerships sponsorship deal with convicted pedophile and current spokesman Jerry Sandusky. With as much as people around here love the Nittany Lions, we figured taking a former Penn State football coach and making him the face of our business was a surefire move, but I have to say that the reception so far has been pretty lukewarm, said senior sales manager Ralph Perkins, referring to the dealerships ongoing arrangement with Sandusky, in which the alleged child molesters image and personal testimonials have been used to plug new and used sedans, pickup trucks, and SUVs. Frankly, a lot of our customers appear extremely disgusted that weve chosen to go this route, but at this point it feels like were pretty committed to the promotion. I mean, that giant inflatable Sandusky out front cost us a good two grand, and weve got like 15 cardboard cutouts of him set up in the showroom. But unless we start moving some serious volume, we may want to at least weigh our options. Perkins added that management was also considering a move to pull a locally aired commercial in which Sandusky drives up to the dealership in a flashy convertible, hops out to kick a football squarely through the uprights, and then celebrates with dozens of ecstatic children.
