Apparently the latest thing to do is send free gifts of other people's products to famous people that suck.  I think this is kind of awesome.

Ok, my brain is slowly liquefying, so bear with.

So, big famous brands send competitor's stuff to retarded people who are famous for being famous so that the common folk associate that brand with that retarded person and won't buy it?

That seems to be the idea.

Yes.  Although snooki isn't exactly famous for being famous, she's on a reality show and is, I believe, well known for being ill mannered and obnoxious.

She's not exactly Paris Hilton, who was famous before any sort of TV show.
