Rename city, get free stuff

Residents of Clark, Texas rename their town to DISH, TX and get free DishNetwork and equipment for a decade.

Years ago, sports arena’s began being bought and/or renamed to the companies that sponsored/owned them. For example, Comiskey Park was renamed “US Cellular Field”. (But, this backfired on them because it’s now typically referred to as “The Cell”. ) Candlestick Park was renamed “3COM Park”.

Now, cities are renaming themselves to be part of marketing ploys of corporations.

There is just way too much advertising going on these days. It’s everywhere you look … and companies are pushing to get your attention wherever they can … It’s just too much at times.
