With your help, we are going to crowd-fund, produce, and air the most epically kick ass Super Bowl 2012 commercial for Kentucky.
Kentucky is a kick ass state. Show your love for Kentucky.
Kentuckians have created some of the greatest cultural influences of all time. We first sung Happy Birthday, we first fried chicken, we first slapped high fives. We invented bourbon, bluegrass music, and the motherfreaking Kentucky Derby. We birthed cool with Clooney, Depp, and Hunter S. Thompson. We nurtured beauty with Loretta Lynn, all the Judds and Diane Sawyer. We championed sport with Ali, SeaBiscuit, and Rondo. See more of Kentucky's gifts to the world on our Kentucky for Kentucky facebook page.
We are the real deal.
We know this, but the world needs to know too. So we’re making a SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL to show the world our pride.

Yes. We're making some shirts right now. Everything we produce to be made in Kentucky. We'll message people when they come in. Thanks your support!

That's a good point. Not everybody will get the kick ass thing, unfortunately. Kick Ass is a positive fun mantra to rally behind. It's direct, has some humor in it, and is to the point. We don't want to offend anybody, and we hope that people will get behind (no pun intended) it. For what it's worth (hopefully 3.5 million dollars), one of the fastest growing companies in Kentucky has Ass in their name- Big Ass Fans. They are a Kick Ass Kentucky company and have made Ass an acceptable part of our nomenclature. Thanks for your support and question!
