The Indy 500 broadcast featured excessive verbal mentions of Firestone tires, leading to a discussion on "sleazy" advertising deals where broadcasters are paid per mention. A parallel is drawn to a past MTV deal where VJs were required to refer to Michael Jackson as "the King of Pop" in every instance during a specific promotional weekend.
