Sporting Event Featuring Commercials

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-that-time-of-year-again dept.

Yes folks some sort of sporting event is occuring later today. Super something or other. And while I don't know what teams are playing, I believe that trailers for X-Men 2, and the first Matrix sequel are both supposed to air during the 2 million dollar 30 second ad spots. So this time around, you can tivo in reverse!

    I don't know why anyone ever bothers watching. Most industry insiders have known for years that its all fixed! Do you honestly think that the adverts are the only influence the marketing companies have on the proceedings? Open your eyes people! It might be scary but we can't live in blindness any longer! -gwb77

    Yes - Hockey the only real "major" sport left where the players are not grossly overpaid, and they don't go out every night raping and pillaging.
    The other sports died when they started paying unskilled kids out of the ghetto millions to come to their team.
    Baseball committed suicide when the players went on strike.

    Yes I will burn Karma for this.
