Actually, I'm thinking: wow, I voluntarily watched an advertisement for a geek sports rivalry. Go gray! No, go blue! Let's talk about this at the watercooler and pretend we share something to care about in our vapid, disposable lives!

Yeah, at some point I'd like to see Linus walk through one of those ads and just slap them both on the back of head and call them morons...

"Who's Linus?" (I know who he is, just illustrating the market reaction to such an event.)

I think that would be half the fun...

Sports is the wrong metaphor.

It's more like being in a science class and watching an argument between a creationist and a real scientist.

"Evolution is good. Things should evolve and get better and we shouldn't be afraid of it."

"I did not come from a monkey. God made the Supermall 6,000 years ago, and it's always bad when things change, which means I'm afraid of anything ever getting better. Can I have that banana?"

Motoko: "Yawn. It's like watching sports."
