1. When it's impaled in the side of their hotel, MORE publicity! |

3. Yesterday, the CNN reporter said over and over, "Best Western" |

(where he was staying). He managed to get it literally into every sentence, as in "Here on the beach, the storm is awful, but over at the BW, we haven't noticed anything much," Then he'd rephrase the exact same statement--and BW was in every line--I swear it, my husband saw it too.
I guarantee his Best Western room was comped by Best Western, who (Best Western, I mean) probably comped several other CNN folks.
It was sickening and funny at once, when he repeated Best Western over and over again.
And that is pretty much how it sounded, too.

5. He dd say he was at a Best Wesern, by golly. |
|
And it wasn't at the beach, because the storm at the beach was pretty bad, but they were very safe at the Best Western.
And damn if he didn't make a point to say that the Best Western sign was not damaged (Really, I just asked Mr. BAL--he verifies that the reporter said that).
I'm not exaggerating; that's about how it sounded.
Product placement on the "news?"

Sorry; bad joke, but I couldn't resist.
