Jesse McCartney & CBS: Do You Love Annoying Football Fans?
Nov 27th 08
Take a small peak at Jesse Mcartney’s wiki, and tell me:
Do you think this is the type of music that football fans want to hear during the halftime of a football game during Thanksgiving?
Well, CBS answered the question by having Jesse sing at the mid-point between the Lions-Titans game on Turkey Day. Already hampered by a shattering economy, rampant unemployment, crime, and a winless Lions team, the Detroit faithful are tortured even more as they listen to a teeny-bopper sensation after a 35-10 shellacking in the 1st half.
Probably one of the worst quarters I have ever witnessed in the history of football, but the Lions did redeem themselves by getting a touchdown off a turnover late in the 2nd quarter. But the misery for Michigan, and for the national audience, was only exacerbated by listening to music that has little to do with the gridiron.
Hell, this music has little to do with sports at all. I understand that the dominance of content of ABC/ESPN, along with the trend of marketing to other demographics by combining different forms of entertainment within sports ( did anyone see the “Who Knows Reggie Bush More” segment on the MNF pre-game show?), forces media outlets to come up with eccentric partnerships to gain a bigger audience.
I’ll finish this post later. Its Turkey Day; I need to eat:)
