For an advertisement of their Network Walkmans Sony traced the subway routes of different cities with their earphones.
There are maps available for the cities New York, Sydney and London, as far as I know. In my optinion its a good marketing gag, since listening to music during travelling with the underground is very popular.
In the picutre above you can see the subway lines of New York on their ad poster. As you can see now Geoinformation become an important field also in advertisement and marketing.

This is how it works (from Wikipedia):
Buzzword bingo is a bingo-style game where participants prepare bingo cards with buzzwords and tick them off when they are uttered during an event, such as a meeting or speech. The goal of the game is to tick off a predetermined number of words in a row and then yell “Bingo!”.

In modern businesses where collaborative “teams” gather as a matter of routine to review activities and map future actions, sessions are often led by guest speakers or notable personalities higher up the pay scales or chain of command. The language used by these speakers often includes predictable references to arcane business concepts, which are perfect for buzzword bingo players to use on their bingo cards.
Part of the game is to have the courage to actually yell “Bingo!”. In order to avoid reprimands that would surely follow if such behavior happened, the participants are more likely, as the speaker utters the buzzwords, to look at one another quietly and mouth the word “Bingo” without making a sound to the delight of those that may have seen it. The result is a statement that the speaker is just spouting off a bunch of buzzwords and really providing little value.
The concept was popularised by a Dilbert’s comic strip in 1994.

With Zazzle you can design your own T-Shirts and now also your own shoes. Geoblogger had the idea to but a map as image on the shoe. Looks really great.
Of course you can do this with any map or satellite image you like. Only save the map as image on your computer and start designing.
