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!
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

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.

Diner is bringing me corned beef and cabbage. Hopefully this will cheer me up.
I suppose the Movie Star could take someone WITH them to Le Swanky Resort... and then split.
