Those of you who know me know that I'm a big fan of negative campaigning. That's why I can't resist talking about the guys at popcorn company T.T. Buds. It's a Boston-based company founded last year by two former Red Sox employees named Tim and Tom.
They told me today that they are "rolling out a guerilla effort to take on the popcorn's goliath," Dale & Thomas' Popcorn and Popcorn, Indiana, which of course is owned in part by Isiah Thomas.

Very clever. What that's worth I'm not sure. The company has also debuted a Web site asking fans to unseat Thomas as the spokesman for the Popcorn Board's National Poppin' Popcorn Month (this month).
