Sporting Event Featuring Commercials
Yes folks some sort of sporting event is occuring later today. Super something or other. And while I don't know what teams are playing, I believe that trailers for X-Men 2, and the first Matrix sequel are both supposed to air during the 2 million dollar 30 second ad spots.

Much more fun, and so much cheaper!

Wasn't this posted last year?
Is that the political correct term for Superbowl, to not offend fans of other sports?
Honestly, I didn't even know that it was football season.

After I stopped watching TV about 2 years ago, I've been increasingly out of sync with popular culture. I just don't have time for all that extra information that is extraneous to my work.
More and more of my "news" comes from

I spent a year in Iraq looking for WMD and all I found was this lousy sig.
What sport is that then? Ten-pin bowling? We have a lot of superbowls in london (it is a chain) but I can't remember them getting much television coverage.
I heard it was the buccaneers vs. the raiders...suddenly I have in my head this picture of Blackbeard the Pirate fighting Atilla the Hun.

This sounds like that scene in Demolition Man, where Stallone's character is shocked to discover that, in the future, radio stations play nothing but commercials. There's even an oldies station that plays vintage... commercials. Aaargh!

Don't feel so bad, neither do the Browns or the Bengals. (I'm from Cleveland so I can say that. :-)
I imagine the the sport he had in mind was either "mass melee" or "drunken brawl". The only other thing I can think of where shoulder pads and bats would be useful is "calvin ball" and I don't think most pro athletes have the imagination to handle that one.
Ouch ... "Gay Rugby" Thats a bit harsh . How about we take a soccer team and pit them up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game of real american football (no pads) . Then we see who is standing at the end . The winner gets the official use of football for their sport and the looser has to use "The fanciful fairy ball ballet" . Sounds fair to me .
It's time we catch up with the rest of the world and realize that Medical Marijuana provides the ability to relieve the pain of many sufferers with debilitating illnesses such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.
And which of these do you have?
Clearly that Miller Lite ad is not particulary effective!
SONY. Because caucasians are just too damn tall.
