While this htread is utter bullshit I would just like to add that the parts about Ty seeming to have become a big Panasonic paycheck sell-out ring pretty true... I mean have you seen the latest Lakia ad's with the screen grabs from FF, all clearly displayed on widescreen HD Panasonic TV's?!
Maybe it's more Lakai, than Ty, but someone somewhere is taking a big corporate butt-fuck.
Although I'm sure huge product placement cheques, and free top of the range electronic equipment is pretty hard to turn down, when you've been used to ONLY getting free shoes, softgoods, and skateboard hardware your whole life!
