NASCAR Crowd Ya know, I kinda like watching NASCAR races. But they (those marketing of the races) don't do me any favors. I'm obviously not in the target demographic for the average viewer. I watch the pre-race show for the Daytona 500 and I cringe as they bring out Lee Greenwood to sing his one song, as B-2 Stealth Bombers and F-15 Eagles fly over, as Air Force One circles and lands behind the racetrack, as LeAnn Rhimes sings the National Anthem with a sea of corporate logos waving in the background, as President Bush struts around posing with the ever-present men in military garb... ... and I know how all the older football fans felt watching Janet and Justin strip and grind during the halftime show. Can't I enjoy a sport without being subjected to assumptions of who I am and what I like? As much as most marketing campaigns try to relay a sense of individualism, its really all about putting you in a tight demographic so they know where to find your eyes and ears. Its never more obvious than when they miss. | |
