It is now the era of 2.0 marketing. It just isn't easy to reach the masses anymore. I don't even have a tv! I can waste my time more efficiently on reddit and digg. You took the bait!!!

Personally, I think making Hillary the sexpot bimbo is sexist when compared with the pairings of her male presidential counterparts. In fact, I think it's obviously sexism, but we all have our own gauge of such things. But the idea that Upper Deck supposedly thought the card was bad enough to pull it, but then hired a PR firm to try and get bloggers to push the story that the card that they pulled is now rare (yeah, duh, you pulled it!) is just plain dumb. To Butch's point, if Upper Deck made Obama and Rudy fans in the stands reaching out to catch a ball, that would have been appropriate. Or hell, they could have made her a player. Who cares? ANYTHING other than Morganna. Terence,
