New Orleans is attempting to go ahead with Mardi Gras starting February 28th. That should be awesome, because nothing goes together like half-naked women, vomiting frat boys, and cholera.

What's even MORE awesome is that they're seeking corporate sponsorship for the first time ever:

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- New Orleans has hired Los Angeles-based Media Buys to secure corporate sponsorship for Mardi Gras next month, the first time the city has sought to offset the expenses of the carnival with marketing.

That tidbit via Adjab.

Remember folks, corporate sponsorship means corporate liability!.
