Is this the exact sort of idea that I’ve personally seen cooked up by a beleaguered sales team at a struggling digital media company? No comment, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome.

It’s probably a good idea to start planning your own Whiskey Friday watch party, because there’s going to be a lot of competition.
