Kansas State Fair campaign

Greetings all: As promised, I am posting the response from a State Fair official to my email in which I expressed concern over the content and tone of the 2008 Kansas State Fair pr campaign. They indicate it "isn't intended to be inappropriate," and frankly my students' papers aren't "intended to be Fs" -- am interested in your responses. Instead of taking up the entirety of this page, am including the text of the email response in the first comment to this post.
