From the FishbowlLA mailbox

FishbowlLA occasionally gets pitches from brand publicists suggesting sponsorship deals. And look, we’re no angels. If anyone ever pitches us a product that we actually thought would be of interest to our readership (you know, a mousepad with cute little pictures of fishbowls, a role-playing-game set at a major Southern California daily newspaper, that sort of thing), we’ll jump. But usually, the products are things like, well, things like wines aimed at the young adult market with slogans like ‘Unscrew it, let’s do it.’
