Braght t'you bah...

Bounce sent me a link to this article. For those of you too lazy to click and read, the gist of it is that the Chicago Bears will now be known to their local TV and Radio audiences as "Bears Football, presented by Bank One".

Now the bottom line is that only folks who watch the local Chicago shows about the Bears will be affected by this, as will anyone who goes to a game at Soldier's Field, as there will be signs galore. Nevertheless, it's still a pretty weak corporate sell out. That said, I could certainly find a place in my heart for "Red Wings Hockey, presented by Butter Flavored Pam".

Seriously though, what's next? I have my thoughts:

20th Century Fox, and Lucasfilm Entertainment present Star Wars Episode Three, presented by Pepsi.
It's long enough of a title, it certainly sounds impressive. We could even have commercials before the film! Oh. Wait... That aside, I'm guessing it won't be too long before things get even worse in the entertainment industry.

Your crappy job, presented by McDonald's.
What better way to save costs than by forcing employees to watch 90 seconds of Mickey D's ads before hitting the cubicle for the day. The company muzak could play the theme song over, and over, and over... and let's just say that the cafeteria could use 15% more Hamburgler to be truly proactive.

Church! Presented by MTV!
Diamond Vision jumbo screens above the altar, and let's just update those hymns, shall we? There's already a Buddy Christ (Thank you Kevin Smith), just get a really really big one...

The Daily Gambit, presented by Your Mom!
Yeah, eat it.
