I could have done without the Fox Newsy, Iraq war apologia recitation of the Declaration of Independence.
MuddDude expressed the same concerns regarding the Puppy Bowl. After watching a few seconds, he asked me, "What's the difference between Puppy Bowl and dogfighting?"
Question: if the dome is closed, where did they do that fighter jet flyover???
Hee. "Stupid girlfriend" does not mean that she is a person is stupid, just that she's not appropriately living up to her potential girfriendiness. Rolling her eyes at puppies, indeed.
In semi-related news, I burst a blood vessel in my eye, and it's VERY GROSS. I may have been rolling them too much recently.
As a cat person, I wasn't aware the was a puppy bowl. I just youtube'd for the Kitty Halftime Show. I'm not that much of a cat person, however it is better than a lot of Super Bowl halftime shows.
I just forgot that I was on the puppy channel and I was like, "Jet Dry? Really? Jet Dry paid millions of dollars to put this crappy ad on during the Super Bowl? I don't get it."
It's all about the spotless drying, occhi. THE SPOTLESS DRYING!!
Did you know that if your dishes aren't drying properly, it may not be the dishwasher's fault? And your handy local dishwasher repairman might be able to recommend an easy solution!
I am clearly seeing a much lamer halftime show than the rest of you. The background screens I'm getting only look like someone tried to copy Guitar Hero.
Well, casarkos, you clearly missed the neon sex ed lesson.
When a beer sign and a giant flashing martini glass love each other very much, then they fall in love and get married, and eventually they have lots of little twinkle lights.
craptastically stereotypical Indian accent in an earlier ad. Racism -- marketing genius, I tell you!
Are you ever to eat food from Ukraine? It is GOOD! My favorite of it is kovbasa. It is made of pig and is VERY GOOD! On some times we eated it with kralya. But only if the uncle catch the kralya first! Kralya is the fastest! LOLOL!!! And with an onion!!!!!
YES!!! Oh it aired? Can I finally post that damn thing? It's been "embargoed" ie we can't post until it airs I've been gagging to for days. Memories of Baby Bob. THE HORROR!
The one I was thinking of wasn't a Superbowl ad; it's a close-up of a Chinese or Chinese-American man, surrounded by his family, buying stock online. Every time it comes on, I'm like, "Why are we watching this? I don't get it."
I mean, I feel like it *could* be a commentary on the American dream, or a condemnation of Chinese censorship, or a reminder to teach your children about money, but... nothing's made explicit, and nothing's really implied either, so it's just weird.
Yes, I know that commercial occhiblu! You know which one gets me? The couple in the T. Rowe Price commercial. I think it is T. Rowe Price. They're perfect. They have the perfect retro modern cool house. The two beautiful Great Danes. They're fit and good looking and vivacious. They claim to have met 50 or so years ago at a lawn mower factory. At the end they say something like, "There are a lot of people that have been married as long as we have. We're the only ones that we know of that still like each other." Give me a break! I still have to wonder if they're real or actors.
mudpuppie - that's it for Etrade tonight thankyouverymuch. Soon the deaf Pepsi ad will air. All lights are off in the "before the game". Makes no sense.
Indeed. Though ikkyu drafted him for me (I was in class) because he thought I thought he was cute. Which he is, but... I have no idea what my point is.
Strahan was in the tabloids for weeks and weeks during his divorce/custory fight. I know way too much about his personal life/spending habits to find him attractive.
Just got back. Having noone to support, I thought I'd support the Patriots, but as soon as the game started, my love of the underdog got the better of me. What an exciting game. We watched it at our friends' place, right by Union Square. Union Square was nuts.

I don't really find him attractive as much as I think of him like a cute little kid. Kind of like Eli.
But I know nothing about his personal life, so ... yeah.
