[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tahna Los: [QB] Ritten has a point. Why else would companies want to have their name on such programs? It's basically advertising. Basically telling them that "hey, we're good people since we're sponsors, go buy our product". They don't actually have to do it, but since it furthers their name and contributes to more sales, who gives a rats ass? It's called Corporate Influence. While such corporate influence is good, too much is bad. Pretty soon, you'll have Pizza Hut sponsoring schools, General Motors sponsoring Libraries, and Citibank sponsoring libraries, etc. etc. And when companies sponsor, or give some form of donation to a public institution or program, that money comes with Strings attached. That means, the institution or program has to do what the Company wants, or they lose the money. Depending on the amount of the sponsoring or donation, the company could basically "own" the public institution or program by telling them how to run day-to-day operations. That's Corporate influence. It's happening here in Canada. And if you don't think it is a bad thing, well...... [/QB][/QUOTE]
