Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Deep Thoughts On The Super Bowl

Sad Vader wishes the beer commercials had been funnier.


Not a terribly well played game, but entertaining.  Pittsburgh kept giving the ball away and Green Bay kept making stupid penalties and dropping passes.  But a decently entertaining game.

Which is good, because the peripherals, which are usually the best part, sucked.

The ads were largely forgettable with the exception of a few car spots, notably Volkswagen (sad Vader), BMW and Chrysler.  There was a funny Dorito's ad... Dunno, as I said, forgettable.

The half time show was excellent.  Because I switched over to F/X to watch Kung Fu Panda for the 342,865th time.  As the Most Splendid And Radiant Spouse To Ever Grace God's Green Earth said, "Does anyone sing anymore, or do they just dance?"  I'm trying to think of who I would like to see play the halftime show next year.  Maybe Ryan Adams, because there would be an excellent change he would show up drunk or stoned and throw something at the dancers before urinating off the side of the stage.

Now THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!

Here is Mssr Adams:

And here is Sad Vader pitching Passats, because it's still awesome:


Seriously, that kid/midget deserves an Oscar or something.
