they were saying that even if George Clooney's mother called with George's gift certificate, they would not honour it.
The people who put certificates in gift bags that they will only honor if you're famous really kind of suck. It serves them right that few people use them.

Except for the part where they get free eye space and don't have to provide much for it.
Big Star got a coupon for XYZ? It must be hella cool!
Alright, now I'm hungry and can't decide what to eat.
Colds are stoopid.

Yep, that's what it boils down to, free advertizing with little overhead to people who already mostly know about their place anyway.
My bitterness affects them not at all, but it gives me a small happy.

Have a shamrock shake. If you can't taste anything because of the cold, this is the perfect time to have one.

I think it trickles down to people who didn't get the gift bags, and are awaiting instructions on what the next new thing is...and people who read Defamer and Gawker and whatever blog it was that I just linked to.
Um, it would serve them right more if everyone used the certificates, because that would actually cost the company money. And the free advertising is totally to us -- the people who read articles about what's in the Oscar gift bag.

t clutches bitterness tightly, ignores freely flowing logic
Ooh! Ooh! I will volunteer to personally go tell George Clooney that he should keep and use the non-transferable stuff, for Sticking It To The Man purposes! Just as a public service.
OK. My clothes are in my suitcase. Oh, but not underwear. Shoes, including backup. High of 80 is bear-leg weather, right? I always forget. I have something to sleep in. Toiletries are either in the bag already or need to go last-minute. All I need to pack is my reading material and whatnot for my carry-on bag. I think. Also must clean up house, which really means a 30 minute race around making things look cleaner than they are. I think I'm in good shape.
