Some People Will Do ANYTHING for a Little Free Advertising ...

Here's a deal.

Dish Network, the nation's second-largest satellite television provider, says it'll hand out ten years worth of free service to every household in a town that renames itself "Dish."

The service will include a receiver, standard installation, and a programming package for every household in town. In exchange, the municipality must change its name permanently, including buildings and signs.

The deal would be worth about $4 million for a town of 1,000 households over the ten-year period.

Interested towns and cities have until November 1st to submit a proposal.
