Spiderman: BRAND AUTOPSY UPDATE

hulkUPDATE (May 10, 2004).
According to Brand Autopsy sources, it is rumored that the decision to not permit the decoration of bases with Spiderman artwork was less about baseball regulations and more about jealousy between Spiderman and the Hulk. Evidently the Hulk wanted to do a similar promotion with the NFL and goal posts, but was unilaterally declined.

When Brand Autopsy tried to contact the Hulk, he couldn't be located. However, we did reach his close friend, David Banner. We asked Banner to confirm these rumors, his reply ... "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Evidently he doesn’t like investigative reporters.
