I can remember when the NFL halftime shows didn't have the corporate logos in tattoo tramp stamp graphics laying claim to the game like today. For example.
Today, " The Toyota Halftime Show" along with 5 minutes of the fucking logo you have to look at during the half time analysis. Where as long ago, it was mere one mention voice at halftime, " This halftime sponsored by". Then the announcers focused on the games.
I damned well know business mixes with sports. What I fucking hate is when it invades the game so much you feel like you are not watching a game, but a fucking ad.

You realize that corporations pay large amounts of money for this stuff, right?

Is there anything on this planet that doesn't trigger Fernando's bellyaching?

I'm watching the Nuggets vs Suns game and they have holographic Fast and the Furious ads on the court, on both ends. I wouldn't mind, except that the ads are blinking on and off to draw more attention to them. This is definitely a bit much and is distracting from the game.
