OT: ESPN/J. Edgar Commercial

Post by SMU 46 »

After the VT/GT game ESPN/Sports Center goes into about 20 minutes of coverage regarding Penn State before breaking to commercial. I have a hard time believing it's coincidence but the commercial is a trailer for the upcoming J. Edgar Hoover movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio... with the trailer starting out with the following quote...

"When morals decline and good men do nothing, evil flourishes..."

Did ESPN and/or the producers of J. Edgar really just take advantage of the Penn State scandal to promote their movie? Sickening.
