Altoona Sells Out

Altoona, Pa

The city of Altoona, Pennsylvania has agreed to change its name - for a month for some cash! This may seem a little odd, but since money is changing hands, its basically the American way, right?

Independent filmmaker Morgan Spurlock wants to make a point. The Council on Wednesday approved a deal to change Altoona's name to "POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" for 60 days. Spurlock will pay the city an unspecified amount that will benefit its police department.

The movie opens, in Altoona, on April 27th.

I'll wait to see it on cable.
