If there is any one thing I have learned in this business, it's this:

The guys who grab the surfers by the ankles and shake em upside down til all the money falls out of their pockets are the ones who have already retired fat and happy (or at least they could if they wanted to).

However much everybody (including me at times) might bag on these guys... I've seen pictures of Rob Gould's house, FM's race cars, RB's jet set lifestyle, JoeE's house and Ferraris... i could go on and on and on and on, but i dont remember the last time I thought "gosh i wish i'd been nicer to the surfer a few years ago"

They say in philosophy that in order for an argument to be valid, it must withstand the logical conclusion of it's argument.. or something like that.. basically that if you say money is bad you'd better be willing to forego all that comes of money, even indirectly.

That being said... I say you either have to take the high road, abide by it 100% or dont. The high road? Yeah, call the surfer on the telephone personally every time he's about to rebilled and ask him if he's certain this is a transaction he would like to make and whether he's really certain that porn is what he'd like to spend his money on.

Unless you do that or only use sponsors who do that.. then you're using the fine print.. at least at some level.

If you do do that, then i would call you a priest not a salesman/marketer.
