If you reach such a low point, I'm thinking Hi-Point would be the pistol.

Umm, under what circumstances would a same person drink their own urine? Or is that their point, that only an insane person would buy a KeL Tec?

I can afford a bottle of water and I have a Kel-Tec in .32 acp.

So I guess since I bought one, their sales demographics have changed?

I'm surprised the marketing team chose the urine angle.

It's certainly an odd choice for an advertisement, but it has happened. Google "Beslan School Massacre".

Still, it's like saying you'll only buy this brand IF you're extremely desperate and out of other options.

Whether intentional or not, it's a perfect fit for the company as a whole. Smile

Or crazy. I'm sure there's people out there who drink their own urine not at all because they have to. I mean, if you're marketing to those people, that's also kinda specific in a not-so-great way.

Holy shit, Kel Tec....

Exactly. ^

I bet they come to regret this choice, or they know and just don't care.

I'd take a Keltec for free, but that's about it. Maybe a step above Taurus, since it's a US company.

If so, it's perfect.
