Indy 500, commercialism at it’s best

Yesterday was a slow, relaxing day for me so after CBS Sunday Morning, I decided to watch four hours of advertisments interrupted, albeit briefly, by the Indianapolis 500.

OK, I realize that ABC has to make some money, and yes, the last few minutes of the race was commercial free, but give me a break! If we weren’t forced to watch the race “side-by-side” with a commercial, we were continually bombarded with verbal references to upcoming shows.

And who was the band that “played” during the pre-race activities? How much did they have to pay ABC?

I guess I’m just upset that Danica didn’t finish higher.
