Tonight, it was advertising throughout the menu during our visit to The Cheesecake Factory.

Please leave me alone.

Thank you.

Watching the Today Show this morning while eating my oatmeal and caught a story on the Kentucky Derby. Not about the horses, but the jockeys... apparently they're being offered tidy sums of moola to wear corporate logo shin bands, ala NASCAR!
