I think it is excellent marketing, and pretty standard to time promotions to events. Cheap copies of the ring are selling like hotcakes right now. We love "our" Kate and William too, you know. After all, his mom was our people's princess also.
But seriously, while I sit here yawning, drinking my morning coffee, on the news they are doing the show on today being the start of Indy Car racing, interviewing the Andretti's, etc. One segment featured talking with folks who are here for the races who are crowding the new outlet mall convieniently located across the interstate from the track. The mall is doing big sales this weekend because of the influx of visitors.
Why on earth would anyone hesitate to take advantage of the hype surrounding the royal wedding in order to sell more soap?
