Baffle Me with Bullshit

Tweeter Center now called Comcast Center
from Projo.com
Starting with tonight's kickoff of the summer concert season, the name of the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, Mass., will be changed to the
Comcast Center.
Comcast, a cable television provider in Massachusetts, and Live Nation, the owner of the entertainment and concert venue, this morning announced a 10-year partnership that gives Comcast the naming rights.
Terms were not disclosed.
Beginning with tonight’s
Eric Clapton concert, the signs at the outdoor amphitheater will be changed to Comcast Center to reflect the facility’s unique wooded setting.
“We are excited to join with Live Nation to place our name on one of the most-loved entertainment venues in New England,” said Randy Waddell, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Comcast’s NorthCentral Division.
The Comcast Center can accommodate 19,900 people and hosts approximately 35-40 concerts per year.

Ummm...WHAT???

They need ot explain what they mean by “Beginning with tonight’s Eric Clapton concert, the signs at the outdoor amphitheater will be changed to "Comcast Center" to reflect the facility’s unique wooded setting.”

How does calling something “Comcast Center” reflect the facilities unique wooded setting??? It’s the name of a CABLE TV COMPANY.

If you wanted to reflect the facilities wooded setting, then call in GREAT WOODS, like it was originally named.
Oh, and by the way … it’s not unique. I’ve been to one in New Jersey that is basically the same thing …
So Shut Up.

HOWEVER, My friend Gina set me straight...

"You obviously don't know about the high speed internet tribe - where, in their language 'Comcast' means "money tree" - which could be equated to unique wooded setting...."

Well. That explains it.
