Corporate Logos on State Ferries?

The Washington State Ferry system might try to ease its huge deficit by selling naming rights to corporations. There are twenty-eight ferries which could have Starbucks, Microsoft or any other corporate name emblazoned across the hull or the smokestack.

The state Transportation Commission has hired a consultant — TB-Rogstad Consulting
— to study the feasibility. Their report should be released in about a month.

Traci Brewer-Rogstad said: “We're doing research on potential revenue that could be earned by selling naming rights, and the branding challenges that would face.”

This is also the subject of today’s online PDN poll. “Should the Department of Transportation sell naming rights or logo imprint rights to Washington State Ferries?”

So far, with only 327 votes cast, it’s 45% Yes; 47.7% No; and 7.3% Undecided.

Did you know that Einstein could down one in just three drags?

He seemed calm on the outside but he was intense on the inside. I almost said intents, hell, in tents is what many of us may be in in a few years the way this county is going.

It's a good thing I own two of them, not to mention three pickup campers and a 5th wheel, he he he.

All this shit about rights from the left and right. I'm sick and tired of the left and the right, and a lot of the shit in the middle.

What ever happened to the right to be left alone?

I think BBC should be mandated to start his second and third posts with "and furthermore..." and occasionally punctuate his posts with "can't have salt" and "keep off my lawn you young whippersnappers". It would be in keeping with the overall theme of his posts.
