If people don't like it, it will go away. (Off-Topic)

Like it or not, this kind of thing is voted for democratically, by people and their dollars. If the "strained" cross promotion proves to not be a hit with people, they will not do it again.

If, on the other hand, people like it and watch the Golf channel show, or watch Jurassic World, then they will continue to do it, and there is nothing we have to complain about.

People chose this. We can also vote democratically to end these things by not buying the products.

And in the end, it hurts nobody. This is just stuff for people who like this stuff. We aren't strained by this. It doesn't affect us. Industrial Light and Magic isn't buying a basement full of slave children to run the 1s and 0s that render frames of the Pachycephalosaurus headbutting a car.

You're right, except that nobody actually chose this. I defy you to find someone other than the executives behind that that said, "You know what would be awesome? People playing on a Jurassic Park golf course on TV!"
Also, you're taking it too seriously, at least for my comment. I wasn't saying it's hurting anybody, just that it's indefensibly dumb.
