The Ivan Brothers Are The Worst Things About This Tournament

For the 74 glerjillionth time, CBS is airing that insipid Ivan Brothers commercial, where viewers with only a cursory understanding about the game of basketball are invited to a credit card’s website to watch videos about… sigh… vikings who play basketball.

On behalf of viewers across America, we beg thee, Capital One: Stop it. No more. At this point, far past saturation, your commercials work against your best interests. They make us actively less likely to purchase your products. If Capital One wanted to give me a machine that literally prints legal currency, I would turn it down, because “the Ivan Brothers” made me hate watching the NCAA Tournament, and that is awful.

Also, if Capital One sponsors SBN, now or in the future, pretend we said none of that.
