    What is Vihannespörssi, the sponsor of Jussi Välimäki? Something to do with vegetables, I can see that. Is it related to Rovanperäs old sponsor?

    Bugalski back in the Xsara driving days, was sponsored by condoms!

    Vihannespörssi is a supplier of fresh vegetables. It is a big stock were restaurants and other professionals can order vegetables from.

    In my humble opinion, there's nothing between TEAMS' sponsors, and WRC' image...

    IMO here's why Pharamacuticals advertising should banned.

    1. They are a corporate. Their main objective is to make money for the shareholders. The welfare and health of it's customers it not it's main objective.

    2. Ask any doctor at a hospital and they will tell you that 40% of the patients in the medical wards are there because of a side effect of another medication that person has been taking.

    3. The inhumane cruelty these companies do to thousands of lab animals everyday.

    Wait to see Michael Moore's new film on the Pharmacutical Industry and you will see what I'm talking about. These companies have unbelievablely low morals.

    And given the number of different medications, it's nearly impossible to avoid it. A little article on the subject:

    I thought about that condoms V viagra battle and the conclusion is:

    Viagra - draws a negative picture about drivers being weak
    condoms - draws a positive picture: drivers are strong like race horses and potent like rabbits

    Case closed mokin:

    I've got to agree. But what if the driver is a woman? What would it mean about Emma Gilmour?

    Well of course there are, but because of the different physiological configuration it doesn't have quite the same implications...

    What about Viagra, what's the image associated with that for a woman?
