I think there was a bowl game this year where there was a big-ass ad digitally added on a HUGE portion of the playing field. I saw that and got really pissed off.
The "Green Monster" wasn't always green, you know. It used to be completely covered in advertisements. In 1947 they painted over them in green and left it that way. I wonder how long until it goes back?
I always think of the ORIGINAL "Rollerball." The teams were called Houston, New York, Tokyo. But they were owned by Oil, Energy, and Banking, and were referred to as such. They didn't have nicknames like Dragons, or whatever, just a city name and a commodity. How farfetched the post corporate war world must have seemed when that movie came out.
And now here we are.
