A Texas town has changed its name to DISH in exchange for 10 years of free satellite television service.
All 125 residents of the town formerly known as Clark will get basic service and a free digital video recorder satellite TV receiver, a move that has some people joking that the Fort-Worth suburb will become a town of couch potatoes.
The best part of the contract, Merritt said, is the free television will be extended to anyone who moves to Dish and any land that is later annexed by the town. The new town signs, designed and paid for by DISH Network, were a bonus.
I am going to suggest we rename my town, SONYWEGAPLASMA or maybe LAMBORGHINI, VERMONT.
