NADER SAYS, "I OBJECT!"

To what? Iraq prisoner abuse? Attempts to curtail overtime pay? The federal marriage amendment?

Nope.

Ads on baseball uniforms.

Presidential candidate Ralph Nader called the advertisements on uniforms during major league baseball's season-opening series an "obscene embarrassment" and sent a letter of protest Tuesday.

"This overcommercialization is sapping the fun out of being a fan of major league baseball," Nader wrote in his letter to commissioner Bud Selig. "Now, you have sunk to a greedy new low."...


Thanks, Ralph! And hey, how about that voting on American Idol? Any plans to protest that?
