Strange Crosman Ad

So I get this email from PA with this Subject... Marauder is dead. Long live the Marauder! which takes you to the PA page... http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Benjamin_Marauder_Air_Rifle/1774?utm_source=bm23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Marauder+is+dead.+Long+live+the+Marauder%21&utm_content=02%2F07%2F2014&utm_campaign=Marauder+is+dead.+Long+live+the+Marauder%21

... for the new MRod

Seems strange to call the original, best received PCP rifle ever made... "Dead"? Isn't that a comment on all of the poor "saps" who bought the orig MRod?

I don't get it PA, new and much improved, ya, previous model Dead? Bad choice of words.

Maybe Josh had an off day when that got approved.

Same advertisement/propaganda/spin team that McNamara used when he did the Edsel.

We may be just a few of the CAPOF team old enough to remember that, and the Edsel too. Long live push-button shifters!

"Kids, I don't know what's wrong with these kids today."

From the movie Bye Bye Birdie, a 1963 film, based on the stage musical of 1960. Some of Broadway's most memorable songs come from this satire of Elvis Presley's army induction. Conrad Birdie, the teenage idol, is drafted and agrees to sing a farewell song to a devoted fan on TV. Songs include "Kids," "Put on a Happy Face," "We Love You, Conrad."

Sigh...

Man oh man, Brian, this thread is getting older and older and stranger and stranger and our ages are showing big time.

We now return control of this thread to the "Strange Crosman Ad" and leave the "Strange World of Brian and Carl" far, far behind in the near distant future.

Agree... the gold-diggers must be 80 yrs old by now?

There was/is a thread over on the Crosman "Green" with that "Dead" theme to it. Think it was started by Chip at Crosman.

Point being the original Marauder will be history, look at the "new, improved" upgraded Marauder.

Cheers.

I saw that too and thought it was just a play on words. But yes your right the only thing I can see they did was change the wood stock with and adjustable cheek piece and added the mod that has been around for years....the depinger! Heck I never did the depinger thinking it was an issue quite honestly. As far as the stock goes...............well I have a Boyds Blaster thumbhole by Discos R Us which still makes the new version coming rather dismal.

I am sure they will sell plenty. They still should offer that rifle in a well received wood thumbhole personally. That is why I bought the stock for my M-Rod.
