Politically appropriate Corporate Bowl Games

[ashling]

Undeterred started a thread lamenting the corporatiztion of Bowl names. Though the moniker "Capitol Bowl" does leave me somewhat cold, I actually don't pay too much attention to the name.

This corporate involvement in Bowl match ups, however, is what has got Joe Barton's (R-Fantayland) knickers in a twit over the way we pick bowl match ups. As you will recall, he is the congress critter who decided that we needed to hold hearings, not on Halliburton's involvement in the rape of Iraq, not in Diebold's involvement in the rape of the United States of America, not whether or not corporate money is ruining college football, but the way we choose college football champions because it is big business. As you will also recall, immediately after that announcement, the intelligent designer struck him with a heart attack.

Anyway, I started thinking of politically "appropriate" names for Bowl Games. My first thoughts were rather innocuous, like
The Archer Daniels Midland Cereal Bowl, but then they got a little more serious with
The Halliburton Suck 'Em Dry and Let 'Em Die Bowl
The Dupont Toxic Bowl

Surely some of my DU friends can help m think of some others ......

1. The American Standard Toilet Bowl

The two worst teams play for the said trophy--a toilet bowl, only the loser gets the trophy.
