A few years ago, a co-worker came back from a MongoDB event with a bag of swag, including a MongoDB branded USB drive.
When he plugged it in, it acted as a keyboard and managed to open the browser to a MongoDB promotional page.
Needless to say he freaked out a bit. Some marketing goons (not restricted to the people at MongoDB) seem to think this kind of thing is a great promotional tool.
Now that I think of it, my wife has a similar story about her University distributing this same kind of USB/botnet thing to students.
