Enough is enough.
I grab a banana in the cafeteria at work. Instead of your standard Chiquita or whatever sticker on the side, it has a sticker imploring me to see "Space Chimps-in theaters soon!" WTF. "Hey, this person enjoys bananas. Perhaps he/she would also enjoy an animated film about animals that may or may not eat bananas. I think we're sitting on a gold mine here." No, no you're not. And if there was even a sliver of a chance of me seeing this movie, it is gone. I put the banana back out of protest.

Re: Marketing
I think you should add banana to the title...that might bring 'em in.
As for me, I ate a plum today. It had a sticker on it, saying it was a plum. Kind of unnecessary, I knew it was a plum.

Re: Marketing
Our local grocery store carries a brand of banana (can't remember which) that had stickers with different sayings (Eat 5 a day!, etc.) and just above the witty saying it had a line, "Stick on forehead" or something like that. I was so hoping to see someone walking around the store with a banana sticker on their head (sort of like the Ash Wednesday mark). Alas, not to be found.
