Cricket and Advertising

[YoGi-Sama]

Came across this article over rediff.com,

Something that has been pissing me off lately.

We want cricket, not cellphone commercials

If you also, like me hate rampant advertising shown in between overs and recently in between balls, then sign this petition : The Petition To Make Cricket Watchable Again Petition

lol It would be kinda hard.

Although i have to say the newer in ball ads are seriously annoying. But nothing better was expected from Sony Max. Atleast this gave Mandira a miss this time, lol thank god.

Yeah, the ads are pretty grating.

I'd say petitions don't work, but the one against UWE sure did get a rise out him. So, I'm all for this if it achieves the same.

Kindly read the following article : We want cricket, not cellphone commercials

I agree with the guy's sentiments 100%. Cricket telecast in India is screwed bigtime with the overdose of commercials. Not content with cramming 3-4 ads in between overs they are now showing scrolls and banners on screen even when play is on.

All those who care about this, kindly sign the petition here : The Petition To Make Cricket Watchable Again

Cricket? Is that cricket? I though there was a 3 ringed circus going on :rofl:.

cricket is no longer a sport. it is now entertainment. I wonder how long it will take before we have scripted fights shown live from the changing room :|
