Marshall:

It can take years and tons of money to do something like that effectively,

I never said anything about their efforts being effective. It'll be like tossing dead presidents into the toilet. Gets people that don't know any better all worked up to buy stock though.

they're going to have to show significant sales

I expect to see something on the sales front, soon. It will help suck in the those that don't understand what's going on.

and/or close an alliance or two.

What, you mean like ICO and DGN? This isn't a marketing problem, this is a final demand problem. But sure, another useless alliance will probably be part of the PR flood.
