Sponsored Hurricane Names?

Our web producer Jill sent me the list of Hurricane names for 2008, which are:

Arthur
Bertha
Christobal
Dolly
Edouard
Fay
Gustav
Hanna
Ike
Josephine
Kyle
Laura
Marco
Nana
Omar
Paloma
Rene
Sally
Teddy
Vicky
Wilfred

But what if they were sponsored...we laugh, but what if that's a possibility to pay off national debt or something similar?  Here's my list of qualified sponsors:

Advil
Buy.com
Cialis
Dexatrim
EBay
Farfegnugen
Google
Head-On (apply directly to the forehead)
IPod
Jimmy John's
Krispy Kreme
LG
Minute Maid
Northwest Airlines
Ovaltine
Prada
Red Roof Inn
Starbucks
Tang
Virgin Records
Wachovia

great idea Patrick...except someone who is paying money to have a hurricane named after themselves might not want to be assoc. with destruction....

better to get some W.W.W. or the gladiators or those sports players who want to be thought of as tough and destructive....lol

Head-On sounded funnier than Home Depot gsells, but yes that would be a great thought

Great idea Patrick! The money from the sponsorship can go to the hurricane victims in the form of humanitarian aid.

Hey Patrick, How about the Oil companies and the Utility companies. Except you charge them 10 times the normal amount. They can afford it. LOL
