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. So this time around, you can tivo in reverse!

Fortunately, unlike many past Super Bowls, the game will be good. =)

Expect a slugfest with the Raiders finally winning 24-21 on a late TD.

And yes, I will be watching the ads, too. ;-) I for one am definitely wanting to see what the previews for the upcoming summer movies will be like.

Re:$2m for 30 secs?

What Really Pisses me off, is that my government will pay over 4 million dollars to air National Drug Policy ads. These are the ads (I should say propaganda) that infer that If I buy pot from someone I am supporting a terrorist. If I buy pot from someone, I am killing people; the fact of the matter is prohibition supports terrorism against our own citizens and the terrorists can be labeled with cute little acronyms like DEA, ATF, and CIA. Let's not forget who trained and supported Osama while he was fighting against the Soviet Union back in the 80's. As most people don't realize, the majority of pot is grown right here in America, and purchased from friends and family or gown in their own basements and attics. So the ads should actually go something like this: Fight terrorism, grow your own pot! 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.
