All we need to do is give the duck dynasty guys a pool table to put in the office. If they play pool the rest of the imbeciles will play pool,everybody wins
 
Just so they use the brand new simonis; camo 1060 ! you're probably right though; they could use camo aramith balls or something and in now time everyone would be playing pool ! lol

You are actually right. Just as they do what is called "Product placement" in movies and TV shows. When Jerry Seinfeld opens a cabinet to get something out there is a box of a name brand cereal sitting there with the name clearly visible.

This is all paid for though. If Diamond wanted to give the Duck guys a pool table and pay them they would be happy to be hit balls as they have their moronic conversations.
Can you imagine the good PR pool would have gotten if say the Cosby kids (Bill Cosby show), had a pool table in the house and it was frequently featured. Kids all over would have wanted their dads to buy them pool tables. It is very easy to influence public reaction.

Years ago a rock group won a bunch or Grammies. In an interview later they mentioned they celebrated with Oreo cookies that the band loved. The makers of Oleo's reported a measurable jump in sales following the comment. Jelly Belly jelly beans reported the same thing when President Reagan put a bowl of his favorite candy on his desk and world leaders snacked of jelly belly as they delt with world problems.

Pool would need a professional PR firm though to do the product placement of pool and get it in the public eye, it doesn't just happen. Heck, shove it down the publics throats. Everywhere you look a pool table. Unfortunately, when it is there it is in the background of something like the Sopranos.

What you say is very doable but it takes someone to do it.
 
Product Placement

I would like to hope that one day we have a governing body that cares enough to organize such things. Just from what I see on this forum. People who care about the state of pool seem to be in a minority which is depressing somewhat. It seems to be more about what can I get out of it.
