Most feeble Ashes advertising tie-in

My nomination:

Online grocer Ocado has teamed up with Stuart Broad for the duration of the Ashes to deliver a series of Internet Only Price Cuts starting with half price duck for the first Test.

In what sense, exactly, have these two 'teamed up'? Did Stuart Broad ring them up and say "Guys, your ducks are a bit pricey, tell you what, I'll bung you a bit of my match fee so you can drop the price?" Or did some numpty in Ocado's PR department spent fruitless weeks searching for an affordable celeb to endorse their service? And isn't it a bit insensitive to ask a cricketer to deliver ducks?

If you buy a cricket bat at any sports shop in Stevenage, you get a free DVD of fantasy romp Willow.
