    Where is the advertising? I read the article more about a tour rather than an ad op for Vans

      You realize that the tour is a money-making venture and that you would not have known about that money-making venture if not for this article, yes?

      That’s advertising.

        Can’t remember the last concert I went to that wasn’t a money making venture and wasn’t advertised for me to hear about it somehow.

        Sure, Vans undoubtedly benefits from exposure. But so do music fans who want to see they favorite bands, and the bands that tour to make money.

          And that’s fine.

          But it isn’t news.

          Do you really want c/news to have endless tour announcements?

            Ah now I understand where you’re coming from a little better.

            Yeah I guess this particular article about a major event didn’t seem as egregious to me.
