A darts player has been sponsored. Guess who by? It's not by Sony. It's not by Samsung. It's not by Calvin Klein or Guess. So who would sponsor a darts player?
Mr Porky would sponsor a darts player. Who'd have thought a pork scratchings manufacturer would use the phrase "brand values"?

Porky's Plan to Paint the Net Pink
PDC darts star Peter Manley
Britain's best selling brand of pork scratchings has an exciting new interactive home on the web.
Mr Porky has checked into his very own virtual pub, complete with talking barmaid, beer pumps, darts board and quiz machine.
Fans of the iconic snack range, a particular favourite among pub goers, can log on to access the latest Mr Porky news and download piggy themed desktop wallpapers.
They can also meet professional darts ace Peter 'One Dart' Manley, who is sponsored by the Porky brand, and throw a leg or two of online arrows.
Sarah Nunn, GB marketing controller for Mr Porky, said: "With the ever growing popularity of darts and our ongoing association with Peter Manley, this is the perfect time to boost Mr Porky's online presence.
"The site totally reflects our brand values - fun, quirky and always up for a laugh. We will be using it to maximise consumer awareness of the ever improving Mr Porky range."
Eighteen million bags of Mr Porky scratchings, crackles and pork crunch are manufactured every year. As well as pubs, the snacks can be found in supermarkets, convenience stores, petrol forecourts, off licences and cash and carries around the country.

I enjoy Mr Porky's. I used to buy them at the somerfield outside my old work in Dundee, then eat them at my PC in the office, annoying all and sundry with the loud crunching sounds.
But since I changed job, I now work in the financial district of Glasgow which is all middle class and crap and full of Pret a Mangers with nary a Mr Porkys vendor to be found.
I really see Mr Porkys as symbolic of the struggle of the working class to be recognised and not discriminated against by their betters, because of this. They are an uncompromisingly plain and normal snack, yet they do sponsorships and talk of brand quality just like their supposed betters.
Mr Porkys!
Is he supposed to be a pro? He's facing the wrong way!
'Complete with talking barmaid'. Hmm.
Don't need a talking barmaid. Basically some norks and a pump pulling hand is sufficient.
My wife used to be a barmaid... If she evey reads the above and links it to me I might have to suicide :-(
Is that nipple I spy? Roll on Holding World 2008
I wonder if Mrs. Porky's knows her husband is "sponsoring" tubby men.
Im thoroughly excited to be able to virtually keep up with the iconic Mr Porky's snack news from my new home in Los Angeles.
I was going to write to Gordon Brown to request such a thing on my departure but luckily 'One Dart' stepped in and made my dreams come true.
Real men don't wear pink. Not even darts players. Perhaps that's what the photographer said. Why else would Mr. Pinky be getting ready to unleash a supersonic dart?
