Petit to produce "Kills" bottom paint with DDT

[s/v 'Faith']

In a stunning reversal, Petet announced today that they will manufacture bottom paint with DDT.

"We know there will be some backlash, but our customers need something that will actually work for them" said Keith Blas, Petit's marketing head. "No one is buying the water based paints, they seem to know they do nothing but amuse the barnacles, so we are returning to time tested chemicals to keep hulls clean".

The expected cost of a gallon of bottom paint is between $200 and $100,000 depending on the market. California is expected to resist the application of effective anti-fowling, (think California Condor) but many Sailors have already gone on record as saying such birds are overrated anyway.

Call your local West marine and place your advance order today.

I heard that TBT paints will be reintroduced in SF bay area in the hopes of putting certain bottom cleaners out of business. It is felt that complete annihilation of all plant and animal life in the area is a fair trade off.

In related news, Kim Jong Un of North Korea has been asked by the State Dept to focus ICBM attacks on SF, rather than Los Angeles, in hopes of also taking out Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Feinstein, the entire city of Oakland, CA, without injuring the Sage of Sausalito.

You are only upset because when you called West Marine they told you it was not available in your area yet.

It makes me cry to think about how many innocent barnacles I've killed.

Like Twinkies, no one was ever quite sure where they came from.

Maybe they should call the paint "Twinkies" as they both contain the same concentration of DDT.

Anti fowling = able to rid the world of troublesome bird species.
