BS: City services carrying private adverts?

Winnipeg looks to fetch big bucks by selling naming rights to everything.

Hmmmm.... ?

I've been suggesting that Larry Flynt sponsor a stadium or library or something, but so far nobody seems to think it's a good idea.

Dunno why. He has the money and he's a good guy. Some may debate that, but he never did anyone any real harm. And he took a bullet for it.

I think the one to go for would be the graffiti removal service.

Every time they covered up a tag they'd have to leave my corporate logo in its place.

One variation that I rather like is what our main (largest) public library started doing a few years back: They sell floor tiles to people who have their names inscribed in the flooring of the front hall. Some are of families but most, so far, give single names that people wanted commemorated.

It's a revenue raiser and the sentiment will last a long time.
