    Default Is NOTHING Sacred?!

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...er_man_on_base

    Quite sad if you ask me. Ads on Jockeys, buildings, cars, now in bases. What's next?

    Do you think there is anyplace that is still immune to having ads on it?

    Take care all.

    It can be argued that you both are subliminally advertising what is in your signatures.

    Still, I take your points. Touche`!

    Take care all.

    It can also be argued that I advertised what was in my sig in my previous post.

    No, nothing is sacred any more.

    Roll on adverts in church sermons, I bet the catholics will be first.

    All 15 people who still watch baseball on TV in the US are probably going to be upset.

    Insomniacs in the UK can watch it late night on one of our channels, so you can't count those 4 out.

    Never thought I'd see the day that movies would be advertised on bases. xD

    I know I do.

    I'm now just counting the days until Major League Baseball becomes: Starbucks Baseball League, or something to that extent.

    Take care all.

    Doesn't really bother me all that much. From the look of the picture, it's a very small logo. Most of the camera angles in baseball games are too far out to even see that.

    Unless they show the games on fox where they like to zoom in close enough to see Barry Bonds' nose hairs.

    How many people do they really think they're going to reach by advertising on bases? The few hundred people good enough to play professionally? Somehow, I don't think a few hundred baseball players, who will probably ignore the ads anyway, will affect anything's sales enough to be worth the price of advertising.

    I hate advertising. It enrages me to think about it.
