The contest is a crock and the ads and pumping on every page are really annoying. The more they pump the more I don't want them. Anything you have to work that hard to get selling can't be that great.

Anything for a dollar.
Nope.
The founders of the top running website in the world are dancing with the one that brung em.
If they partnered with any other shoe brand they'd be common whores.
Yes, yes and yes.
I can´t believe someone the age of Rojo can get excited about shoes because they have a Usain Bolt logo on them.
The ads fund a free entertainment form that we use every day, sometimes several times a day. Websites like this one usually don't last five years, because the owners grow up (get real jobs, families, etc.) and the time commitment isn't worth the limited financial gain. If it keeps the site going, I would be fine with even more ads.
Right now on the front page "Puma" appears 18 times while "marathon trials" appears 14. (By my count anyway. So yes, it seems that the Puma thing is going a little overboard, as the OTM is about as big as it gets for this site.
As long as they wear a condom so we don't end up with a pujo I'm good with it.
Puma has a pump shoe? Thought that was a Reebok thing.

On espn.com Miller Lite is mentioned more times than NFL playoffs. Get over it, it's advertising.
no, not tired of it. more $ hopefully means more running content for me to entertain myself with. plus puma stuff is pretty rad and i'd like them to grow their running line and their involvement in the running community. seems like a win to me.
I'm glad the brojos have had this success - they are doing well with this Puma relationship. They deserve to make some money and at the same time bring a new company to the running table.
I learned that the 300 is narrow - I am always looking for a narrow shoe, so I might try a pair.

Please provide evidence

While like the site, the brojos are still whores. Please do you really think anyone is taking puma seriously? I would love to see the sales numbers across all categories and not just products sold to wanna be hs kids.
It's ok to have an opinion that goes against the brojos.

Are you telling me that if you owned a website, and puma offered you $$, you'd say, "No, I will not take your money in exchange for ads," and instead you'd say, "I'd rather be poor, shovel poop all day for minimum wage and run my website without pay as a hobby so that a bunch of pre-pubescent runners can whine about how slow they are???"
The answer is clear: the Brojos think LetsRun posters are getting to fast, and need to slow us down. So they decide to promote Puma more.
"This minimalist racer is made for runners who defy speed on a daily basis."

de·fy
verb (used with object)
1. to challenge the power of; resist boldly or openly: to defy parental authority.
2. to offer effective resistance to: a fort that defies attack.
3. to challenge (a person) to do something deemed impossible: They defied him to dive off the bridge.
4. Archaic . to challenge to a combat or contest.
Either these Puma shoes either help us openly resist speed or offer us effective resistance to speed.
Or maybe it's the archaic usage, and we're challenging speed to a duel.
No. I started wearing the Pumas before they started the challenge or the ads. I feel like I am at home when I open the home page or here and see the shoes. The way I look at it, I found a great shoe I like. No pressures from anyone just my own curiosity.
I did notice a couple ads. Were those Puma ads?
Does anyone actually know someone that won this sham contest? I'd like to hear from an independent auditor to verify it's legit.

Amazing how people forget that advertising allows this sort of sites to remain active - and free for us.
The brojos lack of interest in a quality user experience, allowing obnoxious flash ads and pop-ups, is the real issue. But hey, its their site. If no-one else bothers to make a better site they wont have a problem. Letsrun is MySpace before Facebook came along.
