What do you think of the bowl games these days?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

The Nokia Sugar Bowl
The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
The Chick-filet Peach Bowl

The only bowl that doesn't have a corporate logo splattered all over it is the Rose Bowl.

I'd respect the corporations more if they'd leave the names of the games alone.

1. I think it's a bit much.

But they live for that name recoginiton.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. It makes me even less inclined to watch the games...

Maybe I'll have a chamber music party instead.

2. I think our country's death will be expedited by uber marketing.

5. I think you're right about that

stealth enemy, that ... most people haven't figured out to be concerned about it yet :(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. Seems like we're on that path...

We have a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations.

3. The Rose Bowl has its sponsors too

at least they keep the "rose" preeminent, but last time I watched it "Playstation" was plastered everywhere ...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. I wondered who their sponsor was...

Sony may be more clever than the other giants. The lack of advertising could make people wonder who the sponsor of the Rose Bowl is.

[fishwax]

14. I think it's actually the Rose Bowl's integrity

(what's left of it, I mean) They'll sell sponsorship rights, but won't relinquish naming rights (which is why it's "The Rose Bowl sponsored by Sony Playstation" as opposed to "the Sony Playstation Rose Bowl" ...

It would, probably, be a good marketing strategy, though. I've often thought the same of other bowls ... if FedEx would just have one advertisement saying "this is the orange bowl and we're honored to have our name connected to it" instead of plastering their name across the fifty yard line, I would be much more impressed with FedEx, I'd have to say ... but, then, all these corporate sponsors make me sick.

Oh well. :/

15. They don't care what people think of them anymore

just as long as people think of them. The government handles the rest.

4. I think the Smoke-a-Bowl is the only game in town

:smoke:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. LOL!

When's the Roto-Rooter Toilet Bowl?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. Um...that would be the Tidy Bowl

:hurts:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. ...

:rofl:

6. I can already see

"The Hallmark buy a Valentine's Card not a Rose" Bowl

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. Off topic slightly...

I was in the grocery store on New Years Eve, and they already had the freakin' Valentine candy out! :eyes:

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

16. I saw that as well tonight at target

I don't know if this was some type of joke but they had an end cap down the main asle with fireworks as well, was this for New Years or something?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. Maybe...

They don't sell fireworks here; but lots of people set them off on New Years Eve.

18. Can I ask you a question GoddessOfGuinness

what type of animal is that in your signature, I see you post alot on here and each time I see it I'm thinking what is that animal, my best guess an ant eater?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. If only this was a game show

you could have just won a million dollars. :-)
It's a giant anteater, from South America.

[Fox Mulder]

19. It's too much.

Turns me way off. Seems like any team can make a bowl game.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

21. It does, doesn't it?

Corporations could start sponsoring their own amateur bowls, too...

The GM Lemon Bowl: Used Car Salesmen vs New Car Salesmen
