Sort of late but I thought I'd share it since it involves me locally, look how bullshit this is :lol: -- http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110414/ap_en_mo/us_odd_sponsored_city

Altoona, Pa., sells naming rights for filmmaker

ALTOONA, Pa. – Later this month, there will still be a city with roughly 31,000 residents in the Allegheny Mountains east of Pittsburgh. What there won't be is a city named Altoona.
That's because the city has sold its name to make some money — and to help independent filmmaker Morgan Spurlock make a point.
City Council on Wednesday approved a deal to change Altoona's name to "POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" for 60 days. Spurlock will pay the city an unspecified amount that will benefit its police department.
The film skewers the proliferation of advertising in American life. POM Wonderful is a juice company that paid to be the movie's title sponsor.
The film will screen in Altoona on April 27, the day the name change takes effect.

PA is so odd, I think Greensburg or green county changed its name for the super bowl to avoid 'supporting' the other team.. green bay I believe.
