Starving for funds, our national parks system is now actively seeking corporate sponsorship in order to remain open and functioning. NPR had a humorous take on this grim story, suggesting the "Lincoln-Mercury Memorial" and that Crater Lakes Park by sponsored by Clearasil. Put aside for a moment your revulsion that our own government is short-changing the vital national treasure that is our parks system, and think up some inventive sponsors for our various national parks. I've assembled a particularly suggestive list of parks, below, or you can browse the whole ginormous list.
