Texas town renames itself 'Dish' to get free TV - Yahoo! News
by Shannon at 4:26 pm EST, Nov 16, 2005

CHICAGO (AFP) - 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.

This is just incredibly stupid.

Is it? The town of 120 gets more recognition, and as suburb, that's a good thing. They get free publicity, along with free TV and signage. There is a set of people who will now visit Dish, Texas who otherwise would never have visited Clark, Texas. Dish gets cheap media coverage and advertising. Where is the downside?
