a little tidbit of info for ya's... Swingline never made a red stapler. The prop guy painted it red so it would stick out on the desk in the movie. Look close at Milton's desk. It's COMPETELY colorless except the stapler. After the movie came out on video and DVD it became a pop film among office people, and swingline started receiving hundreds of requests for the Red Stapler. So after a few years they had no choice but to supply the demand.

Free product placement for them and made them a ton of money. I did research for it when I cut a movie promo where clients had to research product placement in movies. so there ya go.

ok, on with the game.
