In Response to Drew's Post

Drew asks the question, "What do you think of the commercial? Do you find it humorous or offensive?"

I honestly find the commercial kind of humorous. It is something that I did not expect coming from a K Mart commercial because it is seen as a family oriented discounted store. When I saw it for the first time it did make me laugh and I thought it was a creative humorous idea. However, I can see how some people would be a little against it if they had younger kids watching it. Younger kids tend to be very observant and repeat things that they hear. Other than that issue I think that the commercial should continue to be aired because I think it will make a lot of people laugh while leaving an impression that there is now an option to "ship your pants."

Fenway Park Lowers Beer Prices for Fans

Going to big sports events to support your favorite teams is always a good time. Most people like to relax and watch the game with some beers. However, the price for a beer is a whopping $8.50. This price is extremely high and usually prevents me from getting more than one. Fenway park realizes this issue and has announced that beers and other concessions will now be served for $5.00. This is a fairly large change in price and the park hopes to lure more fans to the 17 - game home schedule. Concessions and beer are a big seller at these big sports events and it is important for the park to market towards everyone making their needs more affordable.

Have the high prices at big events ever kept you from purchasing beer? Would you be more apt to buy them now that the price has gone down?
