It's not often that I get a chance to watch the Super Bowl all the way through like I did yesterday. The games I have managed to see have generally been real duds - no contest at all. Yesterday's was excellent though. The game going down to the wire like that was terrific entertainment.
The commercials... sorry they sucked pond water. What a disappointment. After all, most everyone wants to see what new and fun ways these companies can come up with to make us laugh or just say WOW. It seemed to me that they had 12 year olds writing the scripts this year. With the fart joke, the crotch joke, the screaming wife joke... geeze can't they do better than that? The only commercial I thought was worth seeing, was AFTER the game was over - the California Cheese commercial with the cows - I thought that one was really funny.
As for the ho-hum excessively boring halftime show. I realize that I am getting old - but honestly I could not understand a single word these people were supposedly singing (even though it was mostly lip sync). With Janet Jackson that has been the case for her entire career - she has no voice. I'm told she dances... right. Nellie spent the entire 2 seconds up on stage grabbing his crotch. Kid Rock surely was saying something - but I'm not sure what it was. I will give him credit for not lip-syncing his part.
As for what to tell your kids about the costume thing... You say - Gee it's really sad that this is the only way Janet can get any attention at all isn't it. Looks pretty silly to me.
As for Justin and Janet - together - the implication on stage that they are a couple. All I could think of was - ick - she's old enough to be his mother. LOL - now THAT really shows how old I am! *G*
UPDATE Question : Does anyone know what the FCC can do to the various people and companies involved? Fines? Banning from the airwaves? I just wondered since I've seen headlines about them doing a swift and thorough evaluation.
