A Hummer on the slopes of Mount Everest- Is nothing sacred anymore?

Dear All,
I recieved this mail below some days ago. I would be extremely grateful if everyone left their comments or mailed me their response to it. I was horrifed that the ministry of tourism is actually permitting this.
Thanks
Madhavi



As you might be aware, we at OutThere Adventurers are venturing out into the unknown. An attempt at a Guinness World Record. A ride to an altitude of more than 23,000 feet on the north slopes of Mt Everest. A successful attempt will beat the current record of 21,942 feet set by two Chilean adventurers on a volcano in the Chile-Argentina border in April this year. The attempt is going to be made on one Hummer H3 and two dirt bikes. In fact this will be the third World Record effort undertaken by Team OutThere and by far the biggest and most ambitious to date. More details on our expedition (which we call The Longest Mile) are available here - http://outthere-adventurers.com/TheLongestMile/thelongestmile.htm.

National Geographic is our television partner and will be telecasting the expedition over six hours through multiple episodes. And then there will be repeats.

A lot of people have approached us wondering how they can support us in our efforts. Well, this is an opportunity for you to share in our dream, support the effort and reap rich benefits out of the association. For just Rs 5 lakh, we will put up your brand logo on the Hummer. The benefits you will get out of this are as follows:

1 Your logo on the Hummer
2 Logo visibility during telecast on National Geographic
3 Credit in the end titles of each episode of the documentary
4 Logo on the backdrop during the press conference(s)
5 Acknowledgement on our web portal with link to your home page

We trust you will find this opportunity of benefit to your brand and moreover, join us celebrating not only the grit, spirit and determination of the Indian adventurer, but also sixty years of Indian independence. It will be a proud day for every Indian when the three adventurers hoist the flag on North Col and become the only people in the whole wide world to have taken their machines to such an incredible altitude.

Do let us know when we could come across and formalise your support towards this humungous effort.

These people are in their own world; machine vs. the mountain?! Of all the things to do, despite everything there is to consider. Sounds like a bad joke! Sadly, even worse things are known to have been done for a prestige, fame and fun. This may be just another one of these...
