If you’re a bored flat-Earther who also loves rocking a Columbia jacket… this is officially your Super Bowl. 🏆🧭
Columbia Sportswear released a new ad featuring CEO Tim Boyle straight-up challenging flat-Earth believers. His message?
“You guys claim there’s an end to the Earth? Great. Just go snap a picture and send it to us. You get the company. All of it.”
YUP. He says they’ll give the entire company away — Willy Wonka style — to anyone who can journey to the mythical Earth “edge” and photograph it. 📸🌎😅
But there’s a catch… or like, 12 of them.
📏 The Photo Requirements:
To win, your photo must clearly show:
• A physical end to the planet
• An infinite sheer drop
• An abyssal void
• Clouds falling into infinity
And no, AI images don’t count. Nice try, ChatGPT. 🤖🙅♂️
❌ NOT the Edge of the Earth:
Columbia even listed a few things that don’t qualify:
• A clifftop in Seattle
• A cul-de-sac in Kansas
• Your buddy Dave legally changing his name to “The Edge” 🎸😂
💸 And Now… the Fine Print
Before you start packing for the “edge,” Columbia clarifies in teeny-tiny text that the “company” they’re giving away is actually:
👉 “The Company, LLC,” valued at $100,000.
Sooo… not exactly the real Columbia Sportswear empire. But hey — $100K is still pretty nice. 💰😎
The ad is tongue-in-cheek, hilarious, and honestly? Brilliant marketing. (Tim Boyle even recommends all explorers wear Columbia gear during their “Expedition Impossible.” 😂)
And of course, this all pokes fun at the fact that flat-Earthers usually only reject evidence… they rarely provide any. So hey — here’s their big chance.
Good luck, explorers. Don’t fall off. 😉🌎
