"Free" stuff is great except that it's never free. When I was younger and got an allowance, I was still expected to do something in exchange for that cash. My own mother wouldn't let me get something for nothing. :cry: Obama did the temporary tattoo thing and it seemed to work for him. :wink: Oh, I think you have a very valid point. “Free” stuff is great except that it’s never free.

I'm completely serious when I envision individually branded bloggers at the conference with logo-embroidered polo shirts or clipboards with sponsor bumper stickers on them and handing out imprinted pens. I'm less serious when my mind wanders and I think of them as tiny nascar cars painted up with logos and such, but hey... maybe temporary tattoos?

FTR, I don't think the PR agency was purposefully dishonest. Misleading, in a misguided effort to spark interest, and yet very unsure of what they wanted.
