Big Ass Fans

As owner of a reputable engineering firm, there is no way that I will allow our firm to consider using or to recommend fans from your company. I would expect the equipment quality to be equilvalent to the insult of your advertisement. I FEEL NO OBLIGATION TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE NAME OF THIS ENGINEERING FIRM. My condolences to all the little asses that work for the BIG ASS. Signed by a normal American citizen, that throws away all of the reader cards, when I see your insult, especially on the cover envelope. (Big Ass Fans Marketing Guy's Note: This unsigned letter came on plain paper with no return address on the envelope. That certainly works to remain anonymous. In the body of the letter, he even makes it a point to say -- in bold letters no less -- that he will remain anonymous. The problem is that he included the cover envelope from the card deck he's complaining about -- which has his name, company name, and address on it. Pure genius if you ask us.)

You guys make a quality product I hear, keep up the good work. Don't let the comments of a bunch of uptight sissies get you down. Just because they get red-faced and sweaty if they have to mention words like "penis" and "ass", that gives them no right to tell you your company is garbage. Lead an example by making a quality product and expressing your right to call yourselves whatever the heck you want. I don't seeing people complaining Coca-Cola's name is based on cocaine, or countless other older business have names associated with slavery and the like. In summary, you guys kick...ASS!

I just wanted to drop you guys a note and let you know how great I think your product/website/marketing is. I don't know who came up with the idea, but BigAssFans is the most original idea in marketing I've seen in a long time. You bring humor to what I find to be an otherwise dull subject. I have already spent two hours of company time going through your site. At least the research does have something to do with my actual job. Either way, I wanted to address some of the negative feedback you've gotten on the name. I'm from the Bible belt originally and have never been able to stomach the obnoxious, overly important whining of the religious right. Let them take their morality to heaven with them where Jesus will tell them what good people they are for not using words like ass, while still being the judgmental idiots I've found them to be. Why exactly is it that people are offended by a reference to one's own posterior? Maybe you should change the name to Big Posterior Fans, just to piss them off. Those of us with a little tolerance and humor in our hearts will still get the joke, even if they don't. I will forever be a big assed fan of BigAssFans.

Your company name is obviously the result of a stagnant gene pool!

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your site. As an advertising copywriter, I think your name is hilarious and a marketing coup. I am thinking about buying some merchandise and I don't even really know what your product is used for. Don't let these "family values" pansies get you down. They're the same people who try to boycott tv and radio stations because there was something that "offended" them - instead of just changing the freakin' channel. What's this world coming to if you can't laugh at life a little. These companies that are complaining probably have some genius, eye-catching name like Ben's Parts, Inc. and do advertising that "features" Ben himself (their own suggestion). Real stopping power there. Those are the kind of companies and ads that give advertising such a bad name. Thanks for showing some creativity. And guts.
