Wow. That was almost as unfunny as that awful Frist-Carville huggy-kissy Coke ad.

Come to think of it, almost all the ads this year sucked. I also got the impression that there were a lot more of them, and that they were done pretty damned cheaply — even the ones that had to have cost real money looked cheap, probably because (with the exception of the Doritos ads) they were all stupid. (As it turns out, Information Week’s Alex Wolfe agrees with me pretty much down the line; our main difference of opinion is on the second Doritos ad — the mouse trap one — which I thought was the best ad of the show.)

Another thing: Boy, FOX really was shilling hard for itself this year, wasn’t it? Seemed like at least a quarter of those ads were for FOX shows like House or American Idol — two shows that don’t need ads to get people to watch them. Wonder if FOX was having a hard time selling ads this year?

I think if you look back on past Super Bowls the networks always spend a lot of time on promoting their own shows. (Remember when Archie Bunker had two different endings filmed of the show and aired the appropriate ending based on the outcome of the game… that was Super Bowl XII in January 1978.) When Fox first bought NFL broadcast rights, they significantly overpaid (compared to what networks had been willing to pay before) because of the promotional opportunities it gave them for their other programming. They saw it as a loss-leader.

K-lo hasn’t seen her feet in years. Shes not picking any pieces up if she can’t bend over.
I am amazed the third worse writer on the internet is an editor. The standards over there….

Thing is, why shill for shows that are your two top moneymakers — shows that allegedly don’t need the extra shilling to get people to watch them? House I can almost understand as they were planning to run it right after the SB, but American Idol?

Using the words “K-lo” and “bend over” in the same comment should be a crime.
That’s enough to put me off sex for a week. Ugh.

I have found the greatest way to view the Super Bowl. I left my flat in Zhuhai, took a ferry to Hong Kong and caught the last part of the game broadcast in Japanese (it was in English and Chinese on other channels, but this was way better because I don’t understand any Japanese). No dumb-ass commercials, no inane commentary, and NO POLITICAL ADS!

I will be here for most of the political season and pity each and every one of you for what you are about to go through.

So the loss of the team that Mitt could at least lay claim to as a partial “home” state (What, no NFL in SLC?) is supposed to be a good omen because Mitt is the underdog? Methinks K-Lo’s grasp of football-as-metaphor is as tenuous as her grasp of reality.

I understand Romney has a good singing voice. Perhaps if he broke out into “I Won’t Back Down” tomorrow, pundits might not be singing “Free Fallin’” about him Tuesday night.

Don’t think that’s his style. I’m thinking more like Pat Boone’s covers of Fats Domino and Little Richard. “Ain’t that a shame. . . My tears fell like rain. . .”

8:27 PM- I understand Romney has a good singing voice. Perhaps if he broke out into “I Won’t Back Down” tomorrow, pundits might not be singing “Free Fallin’” about him Tuesday night.

Ouch.

No, wait — let’s pursue this line of reasoning.

Maybe Romney just needs to look John McCain in the eye and say, “John, don’t come around here no more!” And maybe Mrs. Romney, that American girl, should listen to her heart and say to McCain, “Don’t do me like that! You don’t know how it feels to be me! And all those illegals you wanted to give amnesty to? They don’t want to live like a refugee!”

Please, anyone — just stop me….

My favorite K-Lo moments are when she uses the word “cool” because, you know, all the hep cats are using it. And it’s not at all weird coming from a pudgy, unibrowed, perpetually virginized spinster.

Wow. That was almost as unfunny as that awful Frist-Carville huggy-kissy Coke ad.

Notice anything “strange” with that ad?

I did. My brother and I watched the game with the sound off (tunes on) and I have no idea what they were saying in that Coke ad, but I couldn’t help but notice that Frist was wearing an American flag pin, and Carville was not. There was even a fleeting close-up on Frist’s pin.

So Republicans are patriotic and Democrats are not, Coke?

I’ll never buy another Coke again. &James Carville is a sell-out punk ass bitch.

Other than that, great game…

No, it’s that Republicans will use the flag as a friggin’ shield. But that’s just me.

I’m old enough to remember when K-Mart got in trouble for putting the US flag on a pair of sneakers. That was back when “desecration of the flag” also meant abusing it to make a buck, not the current GOP-approved definition.

I’m shocked that she was watching CNN and not Faux News. Maybe cause the boys at Faux aren’t too fond of the Mittster? Or are they coming around to Mitt now that RUDY! is toast?

Oh and :

“I’m more interested in figuring how to pick up the pieces here on the Right than I am figuring out who is to blame”

Cause we wouldn’t want to blame anyone for their mistakes, now, would we? Why admit to a mistake?

Thoughtless. “Need to be more careful around dynamite….” H Simpson

Now that is funny.

She knows the shocker?

very, very funny.
