[This thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=794068) about possible corporate sponsorship of the national park resulted in a bit of a hijack. > [@We could soon have corporate sponsorships of national parks?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-could-soon-have-corporate-sponsorships-of-national-parks/755750/5): > > What about a corporate sponsored military? That could work. A lot of businesses want to support it anyway. > [@We could soon have corporate sponsorships of national parks?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-could-soon-have-corporate-sponsorships-of-national-parks/755750/6): > > This hellfire missile has been brought to you by [Da’Bomb: Final Answer](http://www.amazon.com/DaBomb-Final-Answer-2-Ounce-Bottle/dp/B001BIXK7K) hot sauce. When you want the very hottest, choose Da’Bomb. > [@We could soon have corporate sponsorships of national parks?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-could-soon-have-corporate-sponsorships-of-national-parks/755750/7): > > SEAL Team Hallmark. “When you care enough to send the very best.” Just like corporate sponsors of stadiums, lets do the same with the U.S. government.
