The Nightclubization of America Continues

Kenyon Noble is a chain of hardware stores located throughout southwestern Montana. Typically, it's a pleasant, professionally-run, and well-stocked operation.

Unfortunately, it decided to tarnish its family-friendly image by hosting a meet-and-greet with a couple of members of the Bikini Ice Fishing Team at the store in Belgrade.


Some of the moms in the area, who were taken aback by the poster advertising the event, are organizing a polite, but pointed, boycott of the store. The rationale (according to the assistant manager of KN) for bringing the bikini babes is that the store wants to "draw in new customers and especially contractors, who like this sort of thing." Bah!

We got numbers, if you want to chime in:
