Dissapating like the Morning Fog...

[Sean Malone]

Dissipating like the morning fog will be the cluttered consumer and sponsor landscape. Mended will be fractured fan allegiances that propagated acrimony. Set adrift will be the media's ad nausea commentaries and finger-pointing related to "the split." Unfurling like the American flag atop the Bombardier Pagoda at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be opportunities for hardened racers and a generation of competitors who didn't know that the American Automobile Association was once a sanctioning body.

From the IndyCar.com press conf recap.

What about the fog in Tony's head?

The failure/success falls on the Foggy One's shoulders and his alone.

Wow, that is some serious koolaid:saywhat:

[anait]

Wow.

"Dissipating like the morning fog will be the cluttered consumer and sponsor landscape." Right.

"Mended will be fractured fan allegiances that propagated acrimony." Uh huh.

"Set adrift will be the media's ad nausea commentaries and finger-pointing related to "the split."" That'd be 'ad nauseAM'...'nauseA' is what this stuff gives me.

"Unfurling like the American flag atop the Bombardier Pagoda at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be opportunities for hardened racers and a generation of competitors who didn't know that the American Automobile Association was once a sanctioning body." Now, not being American, I don't want to assume anything here...but that just seems disrespectful to the American flag, to use it in that kind of analogy. I'm willing to be corrected...

[Andrew Longman]

Wow.

Is right. That sort of writing would get my 9th grader a D in his Language Arts class. Cliche and hyperbole extra grande.

Not to worry. As an American I can safely say that commercialism is an American ideal and wrapping yourself in the flag while being sure to get those Bombardier and AAA sponsors in is the American Way. ;)

Just out of curiousity from a commercial or any other perspective how is it important to "create opportunities for a generation of competitors who didn't know that the American Automobile Association was once a sanctioning body"

What does it really matter in 2008 who sanctioned the I500 in 1955? How will that help sell one more sponsorship, ticket or TV ad? Does that not typify the self referencing indy-centric gomerism at the heart of the problem with the sport?

That writing style is straight out of 1950. Welcome to yesterday race fans. :tony:

Dayum, that's some seriously poor writing! :shakehead

Unfurling the American flag above the Canadian-sponsored pagoda. :thumbup:

It's a wonder those morons can find their way to work in the morning.

Thanks for fixing things, Tony. :gomer:
