Imagine: a website that promotes a market-driven comic book character selling out to promote a third property, taking cash in exchange for becoming mouthpiece to Madison Avenue copywriters. Booster Gold would jump at the chance!

While I'm thinking over this offer, you can find me enjoying the The Casino at the Empire in London. They really do have the loosest slots!

Booster Gold made an appearance in a Smallville Season 11 #12 earlier this month, and I missed it! Thankfully, first-class Booster booster Shawn Baston took me to task for my omission.

Booster Gold Cereal. If it's good enough for Lois Lane, it's good enough for the rest of us!

Last week, news outlets reported that Skechers agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit over the truthfulness of fitness claims for their Shape-Ups line of shoes. One of the highest-profile celebrity endorsers of the Shape-Ups product was Joe Montana, arguably the greatest quarterback ever to play football.

An ex-quarterback of the highest caliber sacrificing credibility by endorsing a product that turned out to be less than advertised? If that sounds familiar, it's because Booster Gold made the same mistake six years ago with Akteon-Holt (as seen in 52 Week Three).

Joe Montana, you should have done your homework and read more comic books.

The adult drinks finish in distant second to the soda! We're all just a bunch of big kids here at Boosterrific.

Last week's poll question: Which Booster Gold endorsed beverage would you reach for to quench your thirst? (39 votes)

Okay. I got the message that you want to keep the blog around. Now tell me what you would like to read about. (This space has to be filled with something!)

Thank you to everyone who voiced an opinion regarding the Boosterrific Blog. I was surprised by how many comments I received. It remains possible that in the future I may cut back the number of posts per week, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. One thing's for certain: the world needs a blog devoted to Booster Gold, now more than ever.

Last week's poll question: How often would you say that you visit Boosterrific.com? (45 votes)

On to lighter fare. Since earlier this week we took a look at some of Booster's endorsements, it's only natural that we do some market research to determine the consumer base for the Booster Gold brand. After all, Dirk Davis needs to know what Booster's fans want before BGI can approach the National Dairy Council about having Booster Gold appear in a "Got Milk?" ad.
