B.A.S.S. Monopoly?? Stupid

Call me a purist but I think these branded versions of Monopoly are just stupid. Doesn't everyone already have a copy of Monopoly somewhere in the back of their closet? Just giving the real estate different names doesn't make the game any more fun to play. My all time favorite version is the National Parks one - yes, build hotels in our National Parks. Stupid!

"You don’t have to be an angler to enjoy the B.A.S.S. Fishing Lakes Edition of the world’s most famous board game, Monopoly. As you play the lakes edition, you’ll enjoy reeling in your bass fishing prize catches, collecting properties like Lake of the Ozarks, Lake Okeechobee, Lake Erie, the Potomac River and Lake Champlain. Railroads are now Loudmouth BASS, BASS Times and BASS TV shows. Even the traditional Monopoly money takes on a fishing flavor with Mr. Monopoly holding a fish in one hand and a rod in the other. The Monopoly B.A.S.S. Fishing Lakes Edition costs $29.99."
