Shark Tank
Shark Tank is a TV Show on that ABC Network that combines viral marketing and vulture capitalism.
People who have a product that they want to sell appear on stage in a room full of sharks. The contestant toss out their business ideas and the sharks. The sharks then make a bid for a piece of the company in return the prize marketing spot.
Apparently the show has a huge audience and some of the contestants experienced phenomenal sales after the show.
