Should be the "We charge outrageous interest rates and don't give a Fark about our customers" bowl.

A condom, not a Cap 1 visa.
 
2002-06-11 05:10:10 PM
That goes up there with the "Micron PC Bowl" and the "CarQuest Bowl."

I personally would go for the "Dank Bowl," "Cereal Bowl," or the "Bowl of Cherries."

The enron bowl!
 
2002-06-11 05:13:15 PM
Is it just me, or are they any others that feel that giving stadium naming rights to corporations just, well, feel plain wrong?
 
2002-06-11 05:13:33 PM
Hey, I owe those dudes money!
 
2002-06-11 05:15:13 PM
The Crapital One Bowel.

It's always full of shiat.
 
2002-06-11 05:15:50 PM
I like David Foster Wallace's idea to sell the naming rights of years - "The Year of the Whopper"
 
2002-06-11 05:16:11 PM
Pretty soon they are gonna rename Christmas!
 
2002-06-11 05:20:20 PM
...frat boys everywhere to give a rat's ass.

What's next, Planet Starbucks and the Microsoft Galaxy?
 
2002-06-11 05:21:53 PM
Minute Maid Bowl!
 
2002-06-11 05:22:18 PM
I prefer the Poulan Weedeater Independence
Bowl.

See, now here's where Minute Maid and Capital One could trade and it'd be alright. The Minute Maid Citrus Bowl and the Capital One Field for the 'Stros. If I were empowered to facilitate this win-win scenario, I could generate a new paradigm of using product placement for the mutual benefit for all of corporate America. If not, the terrorists have already won.

It's not what's in your wallet, but what's in your pants that counts.
 
2002-06-11 05:24:36 PM
That's just great. Glad I don't go to Central Florida, they've got to use it year-round. Oh, and GO ROCKETS!
 
2002-06-11 05:25:10 PM
Voodoo_Banjo hit that one directly on the head.
 
2002-06-11 05:28:12 PM
Yeah, because Florida Citrus is not a commercial interest.
 
2002-06-11 05:28:54 PM
i wonder if their Capital One is as juicy as mine
 
2002-06-11 05:29:12 PM
ZekeMacNeil: Dude, you are SO wrong. Anyway, on a 'soft' day, I can reach MY wallet....


:P
 
2002-06-11 05:33:09 PM
Talk to the hand!

 
2002-06-11 05:37:13 PM
The CapitolOne No-Hassle Bowl?


we need to raise money to sponsor the Fark Bowl
 
2002-06-11 05:49:22 PM
Why was it OK for the Florida Citrus Growers to sponsor the bowl but not ok for Capital One to do so?
 
2002-06-11 05:49:42 PM
How about the "Bizzerk Sick of Stupid Shiat Bowl?"
 
2002-06-11 05:50:06 PM
I am waiting for the American Standard or Kohler Bowls.
 
2002-06-11 05:51:14 PM
The Citrus Bowl (physical structure) is crappy. It's in the worst part of Downtown Orlando, there's no parking lot, and it looks like the contractor cut out before it was finished. It's also dormant 340+ days a year, hosting the VERY occasional concert, college bowl from UCF (which is a good 30-40 minute drive from the school to the bowl), and whatever non-NFL league du jour pops up (World League, anyone?).

Congrats, Capital One! Enjoy your purchase.
 
2002-06-11 05:56:53 PM
Great - another company name with a bowl game. How about this one:

Kohler Toilet Bowl
 
2002-06-11 05:58:31 PM
The Tidy Bowl.
 
2002-06-11 06:00:57 PM
tampa has the Raymond James Stadium -

fark this sheet!
 
2002-06-11 06:01:26 PM
Corporate Whore Bowl (pronounced hoor)
 
2002-06-11 06:09:09 PM
I guess the "FARK:Drew Curtis' FARK.com Bowl" was too hard for the announcers to pronounce.
 
2002-06-11 06:22:16 PM
06-11-02 05:13:15 PM Padraig -- no it's not just you. they are trying to sell the naming rights to the superdome but so far it's a no go. oh, btw, if they do the money goes to tom benson (the saints owner). tell me that doesn't suck big time.........
 
2002-06-11 06:23:04 PM
What it really should be renamed to is the Tennessee-or-Florida Bowl, because it's either one or the other every depending on who beats who...
 
2002-06-11 06:28:21 PM
Every year, that is.
 
2002-06-11 06:39:58 PM
STO-PID!
 
2002-06-11 06:48:41 PM
Skoal Bowl?
 
2002-06-11 06:51:24 PM
I enjoyed working there but this guy didn't:

CrapitalOne.com
 
2002-06-11 06:59:29 PM
I'm waiting for the Olsen Twins Bowl.
 
2002-06-11 07:01:38 PM
The "RJR Smoke 'Till You're Dead Bowl."
 
2002-06-11 07:25:51 PM
How about the "Let's Bowl"? Sponsored by Comedy Central.
 
2002-06-11 08:28:24 PM
Grouchy you might not have if you'd read the "Winning Team Talking Points". reads like one of those "retire aging professional employee" = rape parodies.
 
2002-06-11 09:26:30 PM
Forget stadiums - how long until corporations start getting their names attached to teams?

"The Little Caesar's Red Wings"

"The Citibank Yankees"

"The Coors Avalanche"

*spit*
 
2002-06-11 10:33:15 PM
Grouchy: ya beat me to it. I've got lots of friends who are ex-Cap Heads. It's a cult.
 
2002-06-12 12:21:30 AM
And what is the point behind yet another lame ass post?
 
2002-06-12 03:46:52 AM
Whore-porate America strikes again.
 
2002-06-12 01:25:37 PM
Preperation H Bowl gets my vote!
