Commercials
« on: February 08, 2004, 05:45:03 AM »
I am tired of watching bowling every week and seeing the same commercials over and over again. I was just seeing if everyone thought the same.

The chicken commercial with Bobby Labonte is getting on my nerves big time. Every frigging commercial break has it. I would never buy it for how obnoxious it is. Not to mention if I ever saw Bobby Labonte I might be tempted to crush a lead pipe into his head.

Why do we have to have some ugly girl do the interviews. Even The World Poker Tour has some hot girl on there doing interviews with the poker players. No wonder we only have viewers that know something about bowling.

What do looks have to do with conducting an interview? Although her first couple of bowling shows were a little rough, Holly is getting better at the Q&A snippets. She is NOT "ugly". It is a safe bet that she won't be doing a Penthouse/Playboy spread anytime soon, and you may find other women more attractive in your eye, but to criticize her for being "ugly" when her job is to conduct interviews is unfair and uncalled for. She's just another "lower tier" female sportscaster trying to work her way up the chain. Please judge her on the quality of her work, and not her lack of appeal to you. I have yet to hear anyone criticize Dave Ryan, Randy Pedersen, Brian Voss, Bo Burton, Marshall Holman, Earl Anthony, Billy Welu, Chris Schenkel, or Bud Palmer for being ugly! I have heard valid criticisms of their announcing/broadcastin/commentary abilities. Perhaps we should afford the female workers the same courtesy??

There are definately a few commercials during pba telecasts that are quite annoying.  The baby ruth commercials are just stereotypically dumb-not all bowlers look like that.  The bowlers paradise commercial is odd because they show the guy before shoes, then after acquiring his new shoes he is a pro bowler that forgets about the foul line.  Other than that, some geico ones are getting old and I'm with David K, if Bobby Labonte is around and he starts driving those chicken strips, sh!ts gonna hit the fan!
