I am aware that even posting this is giving her publicity.

I try not to be negative but I hope she goes out in the 1st round.

Am I just a grump or does anyone else think this is ridiculous?

Why is an athlete pimping sugar to an overweight society?

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

She's a sell out, in the worst way.

What else will she do for extra cash?

A forward-looking athlete would take money from -- and change his/her name to -- Equal. Still poison shilling but more of-the-moment. No good Germans would do it, though.

Awful as in tasteless, vulgar, absolutely devoid of anything resembling class. It's like Federer changing his name to Rolex Federer to play at Wimbledon.

Soon there will have to be a rules change forbidding this. Not that "Infinite Jest" didn't predict this should happen.

i think its fun. its not like shes sponsoring vibrators or cigarettes. NAMO is right, it certainly isnt as bad as Alec Baldwin railing against big banks and doing Capitol One Commercials which he has every right to do, even if its hypocritical

Dear Mods, could we please get an ignore feature which would stop chosen posters from showing up on our screens? BWW would be such a nicer place!

Back on topic. I find this publicity seeking promotion truly tasteless.

Roscoe couldn't have said it better. I thought this was a joke, I guess it's real, she's so absurd. If one of the Williams sister tried to pull this, imagine the outrage from the tennis community.

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

truly tasteless

Of course it is, especially considering one of the flavors is "Sporty".

PULEEZE. If the williams did this all we would hear about is how groundbreaking it is. At least maria doesnt bully teenage ballgirls, judges or blame rape victims for getting raped.

"Sporty" is not a flavor. It's at best a deodorant scent; at worst a Spice Girl.

Sporty Mix
The "taste" of victory

There's also Sporty Pink

We should play a game! I'll post a picture of the candy, and you guys have to guess what the name of the flavor is.
