YUMMY Derby Days

By oddJoe ⋅ February 1, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

I guess it should come as no surprise in a day when everything and everyone it seems has a corporate sponsor, but it’s a little disappointing that now even the Run for the Roses has a name sponsor. This year’s race will be known as “The Kentucky Derby presented by YUM! Brands.” Never heard of YUM!, well you probably know their restaurants: Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, Long John Silver’s, and A&W. Wouldn’t a better, more appropriate sponsor be Elmer’s Glue? (That sound you hear is a million mouse clicks sending angry e-missives to ohnoyoudint@oddsnark.com.)
