Corporate New Year

I can't believe i saw this tonight. I'm sitting in Boise, Idaho, tired as hell after working today. We, the east coast photographers who covered the Humanitarian Bowl, went out and had a huge, food coma-inducing dinner. After said dinner, and the exercise of a small snowball fight, we waddled back to the hotel and watched the remainder of the peach bowl.

So we were about to watch the ball drop on CNN. Cut to Mayor Rudy. Cut to The Ball at the top of the thing. Cut to the crowd. Cut to the countdown. Cut to The Ball again halfway down. Cut to the mayor again. Cut to the countdown. Then cut to The Ball as it hit the bottom...and this big corporate sponsor along with it. No, I'm not going to say which one. That would be giving them more advertisement they didn't pay for and don't deserve. So I guess the year 2002 has a corporate sponsor. Makes me sick.
