I just got a call from an advertising agency. They were trying to get me to buy an ad on some posters that will contain the the basketball schedule for Lakeland High School. Now, for one, I am from Jenkins. However, I really don’t give a crap about sports or “competition” of sports. So I tell her that I really don’t want to be supporting a sports team. She tells me it’s not supporting a sports team. “So wait, none of the money for the advertising goes to the school?” Nope. It all goes to the advertising agency. The school gets absolutely nothing out of it. I told her that I don’t want to support an advertising agency, and she says that I wouldn’t be, I’d be support my own business. Well, I am not desperate for business, and I told her that businesses put ads on things like that, because it looks like they are supporting the community, which is a good thing. A little more bickering, and she ends with “Good luck with your community.” In case you are wondering, the agency’s phone number is 563-322-8693 according to my caller id.
On another note, FOX SUCKS for ending the Firefly series. I just watched all the episodes that were aired on Monday on Sci-Fi. I must say, it was a great show. If you’d like to see it, I will keep it on my MythTV for a little while longer… or export them to MPEGs or something.
Yeah, it’s one of those wonderful ploys. Technically, if the school were smart and had trademarked their mascot, etc, they could sue the Advertising Agency for damages.
That’d be the ticket.
Yes. Firefly == rockage. One of the few television series that was worth watching, I love the character development. I am sad that it is no more.
