In Toronto, my aunts good friends/neighbors have a home theater in their basement that is pretty phenomenal (I can't see it because it's not accessible) and they purchased a popcorn maker for it on eBay. Somehow they were contacted by eBay and their home theater (showing the popcorn maker obviously) was used in an eBay commercial. I don't know if they had special contacts or not, but it's still kind of a neat story.

They also had all Bose speakers at the time LOL.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.
