Anyone that knows me will tell you that I am a spaz. I often cannot walk across the room without falling over my own two feet. Needless to say, I am not an athlete. So when watching Scrubs last night, I had to sympathize with J.D. when he fanaticized what his appearance on ESPN's Sportcenter would look like. Yep, that's pretty much me. The worst athlete in the entire world.
Pointless blog you say? Irrelevant and not about promotional products at all? Wrong! This just happened to remind me of ESPN's great ad campaign of a few years ago. This campaign, like many other commercials, featured some of the fun that goes on in the ESPN office. This commercial featured a indoor sports game that the cubicle jockeys would play during the day, Shelf Ball:

This would be great accompanied with promotional stress balls. Fun campaigns like this leave open the door for memorable tradeshow giveaways. For instance, create a simple game like this and add a page on your website with the rules of the game. Set up a display of your game at your booth and attract the passersby with a quick game. Hand our the stress relievers with a link to your wesbite imprinted on them. Boom! Instant web traffic and more brand recognition for your logo. There you go- everything relates back to promotional products eventually!
And just for pure amusement.... I present, the Involuntary Luge.
