Advertising, ad campaigns, ad agencies, and the people that make it happen

Its official, Germans recommend your wash your car in beer!

Our ballpark here in San Diego is called "Petco Park" which I think is a pretty cheezy name for a ballpark... If they're going to name a place after a pet company, they should at least let pets come to the game too!

George, I agree that the sponsorship itself is quite retarded, but I feel you are ignoring the hefty benefits of the sponsorship package that you cite (samples, etc.)

I wrote an in-depth response to you but cannot figure out how to use trackback pings (sorry, I'm a bit new to this) so you can read my post here:

I think the Chef One Sponsorship with the Brooklyn Cyclones is a wonderful thing. Chef One, a fresh made in Brooklyn product is tasy, healthier than a hot dog, easy to eat with a fork and since the Asian community is one of the fastest growing in the US why doesn't it make sense to introduce "Mericans" to this wonderful product. Now Bud in Germany is a stretch, but Made in Brooklyn Dumplings, served at Keyspan, a touch of marketing genius..dla
