I'm not sure exactly how long this has been going on. I dug this one up that combined the 1998 movie Godzilla with Taco Bell:
It's definitely becoming more of a trend lately, and it really irritates me. I found this video from last year's NBA playoffs, a TNT basketball ad that also promoted X-Men: First Class.
A couple weeks ago espn kept running a Stephen A. Smith SportsCenter commercial that was also for the movie Prometheus. Alas, I was unable to find a clip of that one. Prometheus is really outdoing itself though; there's also this combo Coors Light ad:
I don't understand this at all. These two things have absolutely nothing to do with each other. It's not like you're going to go see the movie and buy a Coors Light while you're there. The NFL and Nike I get. Coca-Cola and McDonalds, fine. But watered down beer and a sci-fi movie? No good.
