If they put the advertising where advertising is in the real world - i.e. along the edge of the pitch - it might not be too bad.

If it interrupts gameplay, it'll be terrible.

Jacob, this is the post I was responding to.  The assertion you made that in the real world advertising is only on the sides is not accurate and so holding a non real world to a standard that does not exist in reality has its flaws.

My bad. Should've used "e.g." not "i.e."

Either way you are holding an unreal world to a higher standard than what happens in the real world.

Problem is the people who make that unreal world need to make money in the real world.

Surely I meant it figuratively.
It's not just on the sides. It's on shirts too and the sporting goods companies logo everywhere is advertising too I suppose.
But there's a world of difference between footballs pretty low key sponsor logo on the shirt and say motor sport where you've a thousand sponsor logos all over the driver and car.

I honestly don't seethe problem with it if it's done like in most films. Guy gets a drink - it's Pepsi. They're paying for this. But he's getting a drink as a natural part of the script. He's chatting to a guy outside a shop. He doesn't just suddenly stop to talk about the cool refreshing taste of Pepsi.

What is the world of difference between f1 sponsorship and f1 or other Motorsport?

Oh fuck. This is coming to Texas soon isn't it?

Between the cows and the conservatives, I'm surprised Texas wasn't first.

Our Legislature only meets every two years so Texas will rarely be first. But they are due to meet again next year.

Who are you to argue with the fatwa of Imam Razgovory?

Right right. At some future point during the last days the Muslims will fight against the Jews and rocks and bushes and trees (except for the one Jew tree) will help the Muslims kill them. But I still got the feeling this is a prophesy about the last days, not a command for the Muslims to do this now in order to bring the last days about.

You have it backwards.  The Jews need to be destroyed before the end of days.

That is not my understanding.

But hey there can be multiple interpretations

The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: "Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah!, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!" – But the tree Gharqad will not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
