It's bad enough we pay $10.00 for a movie ticket and then have to sit through Pepsi and m&m commercials.
Now this! It stinks!!

That's about as lame as it gets. Funny you mention, this topic came up yesterday at the local "watering hole" - our beautiful new baseball field here in Houston is named, get this, Minute Maid Field Before that it was called Enron Field Rather than name it after a former player(Nolan Ryan, maybe?), they prostitute it out to the highest bidder - shameful.

This advertising is slightly better than seeing VIAGRA ads behind home plate. [img]graemlins/Laughing.gif[/img]

Funny you should mention that. I just received a letter from my bank (Fleet) saying that they were bought out by Bank of America. I guess that means Fleet Center, home of the Bruins and Celtics will have a new name next season.

SPIDEY, YER OUT!
By ERIC LENKOWITZ

May 7, 2004 -- Fans 1, Spider-Man 0.
Major League Baseball officials last night scrapped a plan to place logos advertising the upcoming flick "Spider-Man 2" on the bases in 15 ballparks after the idea was blasted by angry fans.

The doomed plan - already rejected by the Yankees - was part of a joint marketing venture MLB made with Columbia Pictures, which is releasing the projected blockbuster June 30.

The logos would have adorned first, second and third bases during the June 11-13 weekend of interleague play.


Fans 1, Spider-Man 0.

Thank goodness the idea got canned! I don't mind advertisements on billboards at the park, but ads on the bases would have been a bit much.
