I purchase season tickets to, and attend Rambler games, because I enjoy watching the Ramblers compete and, hopefully win. What I find objectionable about the video in question is that I am being preached to by persons of questionable moral character about a subject that should not be inserted into the context of a collegiate athletic event. When tripe like this is shown on television, I can press the mute button or turn off the set. While seated in the Gentile Arena, I have no control over the audio or video.
I also believe that Swella was correct in beginning this thread in the Men's Basketball forum since it is imposed upon fans at men's basketball games. I therefore urge the moderator of RAMBLERMANIA.NET to switch this thread back to the Men's Basketball forum.

What's your beef with Steve Carrell?

I would agree. You saw a lot of warning signs that I didn't take seriously at the time.

For me, I'm waiting on an apology for Burt Wonderstone. Anchorman 2 was almost sufficient, but not quite enough to clean the palate.

And what's with choosing Daniel Craig to star in a politically correct PSA about "rape culture"?

Craig plays James Bond, for cripes sake, a notorious womanizer who drinks martinis while bedding a series of increasingly age-inappropriate Bond girls with names like Pussy Galore, Honey Rider and Kissy Suzuki. Kind of ironic, like Nancy Reagan picking Keith Richards to star in an anti-drug Just Say No PSA back in the '80s.



Also, does anybody else find it a bit odd that a bunch of middle-aged (or older), AARP-eligible guys were chosen to preach the gospel of 1 is 2 Many to college kids? Barrack Obama (53), Joe Biden (72), Daniel Craig (46), Benicio Del Toro (47), Dulé Hill (39), Seth Meyers (41) and Steve Carell (52).

Really, what is their street cred with the intended audience? They're better-suited for a Viagra commercial. ("If 1 isn't enough, Take 2")

Never heard of him.
