I can forgive Nike using a film score, just as long as no footage from "Aliens" ever gets reused and redubbed to promote a TV company.<BR/><BR/>What?<BR/><BR/>Oh God, oh dear God no.

We're no longer guaranteed Big 10/Pac 10 in the Rose Bowl, Wilco's putting its songs in Volkswagon commercials, I can't get a Bells Oberon in Chicago, and now this!
