Now that I have TiVo, I never have to watch any TRIVIA QUIZzes!
Today is Wordsmith Day, a day dedicated to those who create advertising messages. Hm, I wonder who the sponsor for that is!
On this day in 1999, when late-night customers at a Madrid, Spain, gas station realized the attendant was sleeping, they filled up without paying and told their friends. The party ended $1,000 later when police noticed the commotion and woke up the attendant.
Here's some ad trivia: Which cell phone provider was fined $1,050 after an ad campaign featured graffiti on the sidewalks of Washington, DC in 2006?
Good luck :)

i will say cingular because they are dumb. that's the basic science i've applied to answer this question.
That's funny, I didn't realize you could pay dollars for gas in Madrid!
Graffiti on sidewalks seems like something T-Mobile would do...
all cell phone companies are annoying, I wouldn't put it past any of them. how about Amped? (they make those pre-paid phones right?)
Apparently it was Verizon...I think the judge said something like "You'd better pay up. Can you hear me now?" ;)
