Renaming Historical Landmarks
Not even being remotely a fan of sports since I was about 9 and collected baseball cards, I was still pissed when over the course of a few years every stadium changed from being just, Candlestick Park or Wrigley Field, to Vagisil Park or Preperation H Stadium. Then they sold every piece of the game and every bit of screen space to corporate sponsors. The halftime report became the Herpenex Halftime Report and the Puke Flavored Doritos Instant Replay. Even the college Bowls are now called, "The some-fucking-lame-product Orange Bowl." But Im not ranting about corporate sponsorship of boring sporting events. Today I'm talking about historical landmarks. Something actually slightly important to our culture.
Ive heard of this so-called 'Grauman's Chinese Theater' over the past year or two, and I always assumed that there was some OTHER theater that they refurbished with a Chinese theme. I even asked other people, what is the Grauman's Chinese Theater, they had to get a piece of the Mann action huh? And all I ever got were shrugs, "uhuhuh? I guess." Well eventually I figured out that for some retarded reason, Mann's Chinese Theater is no longer Mann's Chinese theater, we're calling it Grauman's Chinese Theater now. WTF!!! You can't just do that! You can't just buy a historical landmark and do whatever you want with it! Even if Im a billionaire I can't buy the Eiffel Tower and rename it, Chris' Monument to His Penis. Sowick's Pyramids of Giza Pointy Boobs.
Who the hell do these people think they are?!
*****EDIT***** I guess there are two theaters or something, but they're right next door to eachother or some shit? I don't get, but I don't like this Grauman guy.
