Product Placement

Today's New York Times reports that some companies have started providing free merchandise to bloggers who link to the companies' websites. For example, Nokia has comped an 18 year old Louisiana high school student with a free cell phone, just for including product plugs between blog entries about "a trip to the auto mechanic, her thoughts on an episode of 'The Simpsons,' an argument with some friends at school." (And you thought this blog was a pile of crap.)

In that spirit, I stand ready to activate any or all of the following links, immediately, should any of these fine corporate citizens wish to shower me with swag.

www.jaguar.com

www.sony.com

www.unitedairlines.com

www.bn.com

www.lexisnexis.com

www.josephabboud.com

www.sephora.com

and, of course,

www.treasury.gov

Rival companies not listed, and companies with other types of merchandise, should feel free to bid for my devotion. And I can assure all generous benefactors that I will not engage in any public soul searching or navel-gazing re: my lack of integrity.

Of course, all links will be in the utmost good taste, and will blend seamlessly and unobtrusively with my regular content. For instance:

Grand Old Police Blotter, Powered by Sony

Jaguar Dick of the Week

Safeway Food & Drug Presents: Those Fucking Moonie Times Bigots

It's the kind of publicity you just can't buy.

Until now.
