Hmmm, advertising in Wikipedia?
Just now, I came a across a 5-minute promotional video listed as "Fair Use" embedded in an article. The article was Chicago Spire, a new building planned for Chicago, and the video was by the architectural firm that is planning the building (scheduled for completion in 2010). For the record, it has been there since October 11. Oh, you might also note that the relevant article is the number 2 Google hit for the building.
As for my insane suggestion, send the company a bill for one and a half months of free Internet advertising. That should help with the fundraiser a bit.

Already done. I have charged... err, suggested a $500,000 donation for the advertising. I'll let you know what they say. And if they donate, I want to eat dinner with Jimbo.

Make sure to order the stir-fried Wikipedia with pimentos.

Are the pimentos an equivalent to the spicy drama pages?
