American atheists also jump into naming stadiums.
PLEASE STOP THE INSANITY!
These dickhead owners already make enough money from the products, the ticket sales, and the advertising ot the stadium and the commercials on TV during the events.
NOW, even if I agreed with American Atheists doing this, which I dont, NOTICE THE DAY they want to do this. THIS IS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.

How the hell is this going to help them?

im with you on this if im honest, then again i think the bill boards are a waste as well. but im guessing they are doing it to get in the newspapers, billboards don't do it anymore. The day thats even more obvious everyone is still on there superbowl high, so it will still catch attention and i doubt they had the money to buy the name when anything is actually going on.
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.

You are right on this one Brian. It is a stunt and a fairly stupid one at that. What the hell is the point of buying naming rights on Monday afternoon anyway? The only thing that is going on then is the maintenance crew will still be sweeping up in there at the time.
On the other hand, if they tried to buy the rights during actual game time...well, it would still be a stunt but at least it would garner some real notice from the Rush/O'Reilly/Hannity crowd. As it is, it is something that will attract no notice whatsoever.

I am not talking to you, you are a republican. You are not allowed to agree with me. Or show theists that atheists vote republican.

In all seriousness though, beyond this particular story, it is getting absurd to me, how big business is trying to invade every aspect of your life to sell you something.
Who would buy a Richard Dawkins book if every single page of it had an add for tampons or Viagra or a United Methodist Church? Who would go to the movies if there was a giant bug(like in the corner of your TV) constantly in the corner advertising movies or products while you watched the movie?
What's next? When you buy a house the contract says that you have to keep the Coke add painted on your wall?
We get bombarded with adds already, even in our own homes without the TV or computer on, like when we open the frig door or open our medicine cabinate. We hate junk mail and robot phone calls. How far should big business be allowed to go to destroy our downtime?
I was just told today that boxers are now painting on temporary tatoos on their backs with adds, as if the boxing trunks weren't enough.
Can't I live my life for one second without some CEO pestering me?
