That's just GREAT! What the hell is wrong with companies? This is such a big turn off that I've now got a "who cares" attitude about them building here. Great, more advertising. How long will it be before our driver's licenses are sponsored by Kodak? Our water bills featuring "Brita Water Purification products". Little signs along the highway saying "The fresh air you're breathing thanks to a donation in part by Frebreeze".
I think it started with golf a long time ago, and just snowballed. I remember being annoying by the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. In KC, they renamed Sandstone Amphitheatre to "The Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre". Think many people call it that?
"Hey Bob! I got tickets to see Rush at Sandstone, ya wanna go grab some chips & beer and go?"
"Hey Bob, I got tickets to see Rush on their new Atlantic Records Snakes & Arrows tour at The Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, wanna go grab some chips by Frito's Quality food products, some Anheuser-Busch Incorporated beer made in St. Louis by skilled midget artisans and make a road trip in my Ford F-150 Eddie Bauer Custom Special edition Extended TL4?"
Yeah..... That's it.
Racing and golf have got to be the worst. I don't think the Indianapolis 500 is pwned yet, but I bet they're working on it. I mean, look at all this crap:
- Allstate 400
- The Red Bull GP
- Budweiser Shootout
- Gatorade Duel 1 (and 2)
- Auto Club 500
- UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400
- Kobalt Tools 500
- Food City 500
- Goody's Cool Orange 500
- Samsung 500
- Subway Fresh Fit 500
- Aaron's 499
- Crown Royal Presents The Jim Stewart 400 (by Depends Adult Diapers)
- Dodge Avenger 500
- Nextel Open
- Coca-Cola 600
- Autism Speaks 400 presented by Visa
- Citizens Bank 400
- Toyota/Save Mart 350
- Lenox Industrial Tools 300
- Pepsi 400
- USG Sheetrock 400 (cause everyone knows racing and sheet rock are LIKE THIS!)
I'm stopping, but the list goes on and on. Isn't it pathetic?
