Texas town changes name, gets free satellite service

Back in August EchoStar's Dish Network offered free satellite service for ten years to any town that would change its name to Dish. Absolutely no one took Dish Network up on the offer, and the company was shamed for even suggesting that a town would actually change its namesake for something as trivial as free satellite service. At least, that's how it happened in the dream world in which I live. In reality, the small town of Clark, Texas recently changed its name to Dish, and yes, all 125 of its citizens now have free service from Dish Network. I'll bet Bob Clark is extremely angry. That is, of course, if the town was originally named after Bob Clark, the director of Porky's. I haven't actually researched that.
