IN RESPONSE TO BAYO'S LATEST ADVERTISEMENT

have u seen the bayo's latest advertisment.
actually i've seen that already.
it has composed of a christmas list of different people and what kind
of gifts they are going to give...

and the last on the list was a yaya, pertaining to a f4 merchandise
or shirt...and somehow a f4 fanatic may i say offended on it and in
response bayo made a statement for this advertisment...

here's the email.

Subject: Fwd: reply from Bayo

This is the reply i got from an email i sent to bayo.
In my email i expressed my sentiments about their
campaign and how it turned me off. Myself being a
patron. You be the judge on their reply. Personally,
reading between the lines, they just capitalized on
f4s fame. But please correct me if im wrong.
