I'm glad about that, too. More than being offended or outraged by the corrosion of cultute and the urban sprawl that is commercialism, I just thought the idea was pointless as hell and possibly confusing to the players.
The outcry was so great that Columbia Pictures is worried that ticket sales will suffer. Someone had a banner at last night's Yankees-A's game that read "Boycott Spiderman 2"
Since I didn't see the first one, that's a pretty easy measure for me to take.
You know I already had it in my head that in spite of some grumblings the onfield ads were just another dispicable inevitability of corporate Amreica. Sure people would be upset by them but that wouldn't stop a bunch of soul-less corporate minions from imposing their will on a cultural icon previously considered offlimits. But damn I am sooo proud of everyone. They took a stand and drew a boundary and said "not here you don't". It's bad enough that anyone with enough money can have a stadium named for themselves (built with taxpayer money) but they want more and more to encroach on us. So it's dead....lets hope it stays that way.
