By DOUG ZANGER Got this one from my friend Jerry Ketel in Portland via LinkedIn, which took me to Autoblog. I really don’t need to be setting things up here too much. I think it’s fairly self-explanatory. It’s delicious. It’s kind of creepy. It’s definitely weird. It’s local advertising. And there is a sidebar to it: …and comes from the…
