I Love Super Bowl Sunday

But I can honestly care less about who is playing, or football in general that is. What I love about it is that today is like some crazy national holiday here and the town virtually disappears. Seriously, when this game is on, my city becomes a ghost town, it's amazing!

So I usually take advantage of the lack of people about town and run some errands that are usually plagued with standing in long lines, drivers not going when the freaking light turns green, and other general "there's too many fucking people and your all in my fucking way" type of complaints.

I still need to figure out a nice restaurant to go eat out at tonight as well. Your standard 45 min waits can go fuck yourselves today, I'll get that seat right away thank you, The Big Game is on!!

Back to said "Big Game", have you noticed within the last few years that people are discussing the commercials that play during the super bowl more than the game? People don't even know who is even playing the game, but they couldn't be more stoked to check out the new Pepsi commercial starring what's his name that won't be famous in another year. Do you realize how stupid that is? OK, not to get too "crust punk" on you, but I feel this needs explaining to the people who get hyped about the commercials during the Super Bowl.

OK, commercials are put right the in middle of shows that you watch, so that corporations that already have too much money can try to sell you whatever garbage that they think you need (P.S. you don't). That's right, they interrupt YOUR entertainment every few minutes to try and force some crap product down your throat and you people are stoked on that!! They have you eating out of their fucking hands!! It's almost funny how ridiculous that is.

Can you imagine that say you went out and bought some CD and after a song or two an announcer came on and said "We'll get back to these sweet riffs in a moment, but have you heard about the new fantastic products from Tide? It will remove all kinds of stains....." I don't know about you, but I would be out in the streets setting cars on fire and throwing newspaper stands through storefront windows if I ever heard that.

OK, now I am starting to sound like a communist. I should just go back to being a good American and say things like "Go obligatory sports team! I hope you win this game that doesn't matter because there is another one being played in just a year from now! But that doesn't matter because this is the single greatest event of my life!!"

Sounds about right.
