Alright, so it's not exactly a secret that if I was on a sitcom where me and my friends were catagorically put into ridiculously simplified stereotypes, I would not be "The Jock." Now I don't object to Superbowl parties in the slightest, I'm a big fan of most any social gathering. However, this year I didn't have one lined up and spent the weekend with my girlfriend. Now its true that if the Rams were in it, theres a better chance I would have watched. If someone had offered me a million dollars if I could correctly tell them who had won the superbowl, I'd be a million dollars richer. Not because I knew the answer to that question, but The Patriots were the only team I knew was playing. Now what makes this all the better, is that we had the superbowl recorded and I JUST finished watching it. Yeah, I used our TIVO to skip all the football stuff and just watch the commercials.
So here's my Superbowl Review!!!!
I have to say I felt good about this year. It had a pretty solid start. I was a fan of the beer commercial where they threw the 6-pack out of the airplane to coax to jumper. The Pepsi/iTunes ones... uhh not so much, and the one where the superstars were all mini, I didn't care for either. Now Diet Pepsi was a strong contender in my eyes, as was both commercials involving hot chicks. The tobasco sauce commercial: Did you know she was burnt under her swimsuit? yeah, they didn't make that real clear. I'm assuming they were worried about FCC fines and such for being too trashy, so they didn't want to show it too long. But it was too quick and no one got the joke. Also I want everyone to read this clip from a newspaper article:
Sometimes, I simply hate American TV. I want to look up this Ron Sarro and send him instructions on how remove that stick. Maybe I'll include pictures... nice and graphic.Most advertisers were unusually conservative in both subject and presentation. The only outwardly provocative ad was from GoDaddy.com, a little-known domain registry site.
The ad showed a buxom woman have a wardrobe malfunction while testifying before a congressional panel. It upset some viewers.
"I don't get the one with the girl whose top was coming down," says Robin Dodson, 26, a student from Austin. "It was degrading, almost." Adds Ron Sarro, 66, an actor from North Bethesda, Md.: "Do TV and the NFL really call that reform?

I hate football...you knew more about who's playing than I did...and I didn't even watch the commercials, but I totally agree that some people take things too far and need to be shut up!
Side question: Are you coming to ITI?

Rob, are you having trouble controlling THE VOLUME OF YOUR VOICE?
America really needs to lighten the hell up:
'Oh no women have boobs! The superbowl is the harbringer of the Anti-Christ!'
'I am so in favor of FCC smack down I get angry when that Dough Boy Queer walks around naked. He's part of the gay agenda!"
Listen, not everyone has an agenda. I'm not big on the homo's, but I also don't wring my hands in my church and pray that they aren't taking over America. The reasoning behind this is two fold: 1. They're people just like us, except when the going gets rough...well let's just say they're not surprised. and 2. I've been all over America and seriously, we could use some redecorating.
So we have the crack down on the gays, and on beautiful women being beautiful and scantily clad. Clearly the FCC is composed of a group of people who aren't having any sex.

Well, as for me I didn't watch much of the superbowl myself I haven't sat down and watched the an entire superbowl game since Tampa and the Raiders played. There just haven't been any one or two teams that I have been interested in seeing in the superbowl maybe next year.
Rob I finally got a chance to watch that episode of Smallville over the weekend. You were right it was very lame thumbs down on that one and a double thumbs down that irrating Cholie (can't spell her name)knows Clark's secret they could have done better.
On another note, looks like the boss has brought in four more temps. in last week and as Greg would say "another temp bites the dust" that means one down (didn't come back in the office today) three to go.

Tabitha: I'll know more about ITI when I know more about my future job... Sucks, but that's the best I can do.
Scott: Word. I actually want to pass a law that bans sex altogether... and anything that can lead to sexual thoughts. Baywatch should have never hit the networks. Vanna White? What purpose does she have again? Oh yeah, NONE! What a dirty slut. And I hate how "Queer Eye" glamorizes the homosexual cuture. They should be tar and feather'ed for their sins. And after all that I'm going to paint all my walls white, burn all artwork and break all my CDs, Smash my computer and TV, and never leave my house again.
Melinda: Yeah, wasn't the strongest episode. At least Clark didn't tell her. That would have really pissed me off. And she's handling fairly well, so all things considered, that situation could have been much worse.
Everyone else: Sorry about the jacked up font sizes... don't know how that happened. Eh, it happens.
I'd like to rage on and on about the topic, but I had my fill after LAST years' Stupid-Bowl.
I will, however, focus on one point made in Rob's post:
" 'I don't get the one with the girl whose top was coming down," says Robin Dodson, 26, a student from Austin.'"
Hmmmm...perhaps Ms. Dodson is a 26 year old, EIGHTH-GRADE student. Just my thoughts.
Back to work.

I love the Super Bowl. Of course, I love any reason to party (and I also don't have to get up the next morning).
Wow, they got four people to replace me and Rob and Rob wasn't even working. I really should have asked for more money.
