Evil Empire defeats Spiderman
By lefty
Spiderman was caught stealing today at Yankee Stadium.
Disguised as a marketing alliance between MLB, Colombia pictures and Marvel studios, Spiderman was trying to steal Major League Baseball’s last remaining strands of dignity. And the Yankees threw him out.
If you hadn’t heard, on Wednesday a plan as announced to allow Spiderman logos to adorn the bases of 15 ballparks on June 11-13. A six-inch square spider web would have covered the bases so all baseball fans would know that Spiderman 2 would be in theatres June 30. But the Yankees would have no one disrespecting the bases in “The House that Ruth built.’
The Yankees originally made their objections known and said they would only allow the ads to appear before the game. However, after the media and fans amplified their objections, Bud Selig stopped the $2.5million deal and told the Associated "It isn't worth, frankly, having a debate about."
It’s funny how some things kind of send the fan over the top. Are the fans ears as sensitive as their eyes to this blatant selling of the game? Maybe next time Joe Torre call to the bullpen “Is brought us by Verizon Wireless,” the fans will have the same reaction.
