Olympic size advertising
It is coming close to my favorite time of year, every 4 years – the Summer Olympics! It already started with the trials in which USA spares no one and are brutal. The excitement, nervousness, and despair that the Olympic games bring upon are like nothing else. However, this year, I feel as though certain athletes are being “pimped out”. Michael Phelps, my personal favorite, winning medal after medal in Greece is in every commercial promoting not only the Olympics, but also their sponsors. I swear I saw him swimming in a pool of beer the other day. Amanda Beard, also a swimmer, posed for Playboy this past year. I guess being featured on the Wheaties box isn’t enough anymore.
