Pinkbike Acquired by DrunkCyclist.com

Mar 31, 2007

UPDATE: April 2nd - In case you didn't get the idea, we're happy we made you laugh, curse, and scream.
Happy April Fools Everyone!

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., /April 1, 2007/PR Newswire – DrunkCyclist Ltd. announced that it has today acquired Pinkbike Inc. (“Pinkbike.com”) for approximately $1.65 million in a stock-for-stock transaction. Pinkbike.com will continue operations as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Drunk Cyclist Ltd. The acquisition is expected to be neutral to Drunk Cyclist Ltd. earnings in 2007.

The acquisition combines one of the largest and fastest growing online entertainment communities with Pinkbike's expertise in organizing information and creating new models for advertising on the Internet. The combined companies will focus on providing a better, more comprehensive experience for users interested in uploading, watching and sharing Photos, and will offer new opportunities for professional content owners to distribute their work to reach a vast new audience.

"Our community has played a vital role in changing the way that people consume media, creating a new clip culture. By joining forces with Pinkbike, we can benefit from its global reach and technology leadership to deliver a more comprehensive entertainment experience for our users and to create new opportunities for our partners," said Jonny Maine, CEO and Founder of Drunk Cyclist. "I'm confident that with this partnership we'll have the flexibility and resources needed to pursue our goal of building the next-generation platform for serving media worldwide."

Hi. I am the mother of a 11 year old son and a 15 year old son. They are always on your site, buying and listing items.

I'm not sure if your changes today are a result of April 1st, but I find it in very poor taste to post almost porno pictures. They have nothing to do with selling bikes!! It is very inappropriate and I certainly hope that they will be off by tomorrow. If it was someone's idea of a joke, it's a very poor one.

I have always encouraged my kids to buy and sell on your site, however, if this is a permanent change, they will no longer be allowed on your site - and I'm sure there are many other parents who feel the same.

This leaves me with a feeling like I never want to go on your site again. Please change it ASAP. If this was a joke, let someone else come up with a joke next year.
Thanks.

I think everyone here needs to get off their high horse. There is porn all over the internet. Any 14-18 year old kids that want to see girls naked just has to use google. I see NO porn on this site ANYWHERE! In fact there is only one add for another site (DrunkCyclist.com) that has questionable ADS but still no porn on it's main page. A lot of heavily trafficked sites on the internet have ads that you can follow and will eventually take you to the inevitable porn site. Get over it. Hey kiddies DON'T CLICK THE NAUGHTY LINKS.

If you are mad at this Joke it's because you felt a bit dumb cause you were HAD in an April fools prank.

Personally I didn't mind it and thought that it was funny. I don't have kids however and after reading comments from some of the parents I agree it was probably in poor taste (the porn). You can argue that the media is inundated with similar images but your website is probably one that parents trust and even encourage their kids to use, one that they don't have to watch over their kids shoulders. This is the only website I check daily and still will. I just hope that everyone else does as well. Food for thought.
