Just Shut Up With This FOX 3D Stuff

By Mark Young

I had to check my TV on Sunday to make sure I was watching the California Auto Club 500 or NASCAR Racers on the Cartoon Network.  What in the world were they thinking when they thought up the idea of FOX 3D or more importantly how simple do they take us the fans to be?  If I want to watch computer graphics of cars on the track I will fire up the Playstation2 because those are better than this stuff FOX is force-feeding us.  With that in mind I beg FOX to SHUT UP with this 3D stuff!!

U WANT SOME?

Now I have some friends at my real job that tell me this concept that FOX is trying to do is very cutting edge stuff.  Well maybe they should have waited until the second or third version of the software came out.  I really figured that after they showed this lame stuff during the Bud Shootout when the cars weren't even on the track but in the infield that it would not be back for the Daytona 500 but no, this is somebody's little baby and will not go down quietly.

Could someone explain to me how they could even possibly expect us to believe they had to go to the FOX 3D cartoon to find out who bumped Reutimann?  There are over 50 cameras on that track, surely one of them had the data of the accident.  Why can't they just do the race like they do football?  No flashy gimmicks or joking around commentators, just straight up journalism presenting en event in a professional manner.

People joke around that NASCAR fans are rednecks, simple, and narrow-minded.  Well if being a fan makes me redneck I guess I am guilty, but don't confuse us for being simple and expound on that by throwing up cheesy cartoon graphics to show something that happens on the track.  Get rid of this stuff and broadcast a race the way it is supposed to be.

That's what I think, what say you?
