As far as successful campaign slogans go I'm not certain this is a winner, but it sure the heck got my attention...

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (AP) -- For guys who park in front of the TV during college basketball's March Madness, the Oregon Urology Institute has a suggestion: Why not use that time to recover from a vasectomy?

''When March Madness approaches you need an excuse ... to stay at home in front of the big screen,'' the clinic's radio ad says. ''Get your vasectomy at Oregon Urology Institute the day before the tournament starts. It's snip city.''

On the one had the sheer audacity makes me smile, on the other I have to wonder if anyone at all will take them up on it.
