I think I've heard about other corporations doing similar things, although I can't recall specifics. I *do* know that when I go to my daughter's school, there are posters all over the place which are barely-concealed advertisements for current movies, books, and musical artists.

The mind boggles. M Sadly, it’s already happening… I think I’ve heard about other corporations doing similar things, although I can’t recall specifics.
