Iron Man 2

Question

There is not really a "shameless advertising" forum so I thought I'd stick this in here.
Got my copy of Oracle Magazine a few weeks ago with a cover of the movie Iron Man 2. An article inside written with an interview with Tony Stark, who by the way is a fictional character. Perfectly normal right?
I hoped it would end there, but flash forward to Saturday when I saw the movie (which wasn't half bad btw) and Larry Ellison makes a cameo in the movie. Also a huge plug in the movie when someone is told to "pull up the Oracle grid."
Although I can understand the motivation to attach yourself to what they think will be a summer blockbuster, I couldn't help but shake my head at the blatant promotion. People who don't know what Oracle is probably aren't your target market - and those who already do don't need it shoved in their face when they pay $11 to watch a movie.
Thoughts?

Hello All!
Call me dren (nerd) if you like! I am not really thrilled with Iron Man2, not the story, nor the actor. This is why: He reaches the threshold, get up and get back on his feet through sciences and past knowledge. My penny thought is that sometimes you need to get back on your feet by inner voyage into Self, self restraint vs. self indulgence. Knowledge is not always the key to saving the world, dont' care what religion belief you are in, catholic, baptist, Shinto or Bhuddist
