Advertisements at NBA Games
Posted by Nathan & Valerie at 12:53 AM |
While looking at how my fantasy basketball players did tonight I came across the box score for the Milwaukee Bucks - Dallas Mavericks game held in Milwaukee. Yahoo's recap of the game had the picture below linked to the story.
Erik Goodlad pointed out to me that the picture is obviously framed to include the entire woman in the advertisement. Sorta reminds me of all the recent risque controversies during sporting events a la Janet Jackson (with Justin Timberfake), the streaker from Golden Palace Casino at the US Open golf classic, Prince's latest Super Bowl halftime show guitar display and a slew of others.
Granted this advertisment isn't NEARLY as risque as those events on public television but I thought they were trying to make the NBA a global game for the kids to get hooked on. I thought it was the WNBA who was trying to package sex with basketball!
Thanks to Morry Gash taking this shot of Milwaukee Bucks coach Terry Stotts, now the world knows what the Bucks advertise at their games!
