As If They Couldn't Call Outs Before

Rooftop Report coughs up the following hairball, via ESPN:
Spider-Man 2 movie logos will appear on first, second and third base, plus the pitching rubber, a deal between the movie studio and MLB, according to today's Wall Street Journal. (Apparently, home plate was either too sacred -- or perhaps too expensive.)
Just another way Bud Selig is -- literally -- selling out the game. God knows it's hard enough to make out calls with pristine white bases -- nooooo. Idea: why not use all that black expanse of the umpires' uniforms as a billboard instead? It would add some color to the game...

Update: Here's the "art". All your base are belong to us, indeed.
