BRC Imagination Arts' Brad Shelton

Once again, I had the distinct honor of appearing on the Season Pass Podcast. The main guest this episode was Brad Shelton of BRC Imagination Arts. We talked about world's fairs naturally, but more specifically Shanghai's Expo 2010 and the efforts to ensure the United States has a pavilion there. We also talk about the United States' last two world's fairs in Knoxville and New Orleans and the history of expo mascots.

Here are some links related to our conversation:

Expo 2010 Fake Souvenirs a Good Sign?

Today, the People's Daily (China's government paper) ran this article, entitled "Crackdown on Fake Shanghai Expo Goods."

I don't recall there ever being a problem with Expo souvenirs being counterfeited at any of the recent expositions. Of course, those countries (Portugal, Germany, Japan, and Spain) have much longer traditions of trademark protection.

Here's why I think it might be a good sign that fake Expo 2010 souvenirs are out there: We're one year and 9 days from opening day and there's already a market for Expo 2010 souvenirs.
