The bad effects of publicity will cost them more than anything they could get by winning.

But any publicity is good publicity. People all over will now know they exist.

I was in Lake George twice last year. I think that was one of the restaurants I tried to get to, but people didn't want to go along.

One would really have to think twice about stiffing the wait staff at a place called "Soprano's". :)
