Dumb ways for broadcasters to make a buck

I'm listening to the audio feed of the CWS game between UNC and Rice right now.  I have no idea who's actually in charge of it, since I just found it on the CSTV website.  But every time somebody draws a walk, the announcer says, "There's a walk, brought to you by the American Heart Association, which reminds you that walking is good for your heart!"

Okay, I would say this is one of the dumbest promotions I've never heard in the midst of a game.  On an off day like this, I ask: has anybody else heard similarly bad--or worse--promotions on radio or TV?
