2007 Daytona 500 Pre-Race

Augh, kill me now. Kelly Clarkson is ugly, tubby, and annoying. She is also devoid of musical talent in my opinion and contrary to the opinion of the voting public for Fox's talent search.

I'm reasonably certain that Formula 1 doesn't waste time with such worthless displays of "entertainment". I'd be interested in finding out how Speed manages to avoid this problem; perhaps because the F1 broadcasts are an FIA world feed.

I wonder what the cost of a ticket would be if I just wanted a seat to watch the racing, and not any of the other garbage that keeps getting added on to a NASCAR Nextel Cup race. It is a race; the attraction of a race is enough in and of itself---men and machines pitting themselves and their strategies against each other. If you need more than that to enjoy the race, then go home and watch the NBA.

Oh, and I absolutely hate the Chevrolet Presidents' Day ads. Hip-hop renditions of "Ruffles & Flourishes" should be banned.

EDIT: The only way that the command to start engines should be given is as if you were Michael Ironside in Top Gun. Mr. Cage, you fail miserably.

EDIT: The Chevrolet railroad commercial fails. That being said, I'm glad that someone's giving a nod to our railroad industry. Too bad GM sold off its Electro-Motive Division, so they don't actually make diesel-electric locomotives anymore.
