In a commercial to air Monday night during Monday Night Football, televangelist Right-wing media personality Pat Robertson will endorse Full Throttle Jet Boots. His Billy Mays-esque thirty-second time slot features Robertson using the Boots in a variety of scenarios, including late-for-work, missed-the-bus, and canceled-the-flight. The spot will air on more channels later this week with radio, television, Internet, and public transportation ads following soon.
When accused of "selling out" by many Christian leaders for the use of the slogan "Jet Boots bring you closer to God," Robertson was dismissive. "I think the Almighty understands that I do what I do only to serve Him. There's no reason for me to prove my faith to you people. I'm just asking for a little money, here."
Full Throttle, Inc. declined to a request to comment late Wednesday evening. The deal between the company and Robertson is reportedly in the twenty-millions.
