five years (or ten?) ago companies gave out mousepads and got the desired reaction – “ooh, these guys must be pretty hi-tech!” Once those five minutes were up though, most just dropped them in their schwag bag and moved along. When will someone give out mousepads – but as an ironic gesture? This question arose during a viewing of the extremely questionable Thomas Crown Affair.
