NFT: So now our National Anthem has a corporate sponsor!?

SwirlingEddie : 11/24/2015 11:30 am
It was a small but painful irritant during MNF to hear our National Anthem performed by Sissy Twanger or whatever her name was (her newest album now available for download on iTunes by the way!) and then at the end be told the Star Spangled Banner has been sponsored by USAA!

No. No. No.

Now I understand it was the performance that was sponsored, not the song itself, but still, you don't sponsor the National Anthem, no more than you would put a Nike swoosh on the US flag. You just don't.

C'mon, man.
Well...

Congress has been under corporate ownership for decades. Maybe they can start wearing suits covered in logos like NASCAR
I want this new album by Sissy Twanger...

Sissy Twanger is the pefect knick name for a chick

I "knew" that had a distinct taste.

Pales in comparison to NASCAR. The level of sponsorship in NASCAR is as American as a bald eagle fucking an apple pie while carrying a piece.

This is an AWESOME idea. Like traders at the NYSE, Congressmen have to wear a vest. On the vest are logos for each of their top 20 donors, logo size and position based on size of donation.
next you are going to tell me  
gidiefor : Mod : 11/24/2015 1:55 pm : link
that the National Anthem is not made in the USA
And now, to honor America

Please rise, remove your New Era authentic game-worn hat, place one hand over your Under-Armour logo'd heart and with the other text 72729 to download the following performance by award-winning recording artist Unfortunate Costume Incident, as they perform "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke."

They play a game with no commercials that's over in two hours. Not tv-friendly.
If you are singing...

"o'er the land of the free'" you sing really, really high. It's what you do.

And if you want to save 15% of more on your car insurance, you go to Geico. It's what you do.
