TV: Superbowl

Zzzzzzz.... Oh, I'm sorry - was I snoring again?

Man, was it just me or was this year's Superbowl a real snoozer? Not only did the matchup of two defensive teams make for an actionless game, but the producers obviously wanted to be so politically correct that no one on the planet would be offended between the "4-hour erection" ads.

Let's start with the opening ceremonies: Wow, you can't get more P.C. than Will Smith (famous for rapping without curse words) introducing "America the Beautiful" sung by Alicia Keys in a buttoned-up suit with backup from deaf and blind kids, in a salute to Ray Charles. My god, what's this world coming to? Then, more "children are our future" crap, with the kid "tossing" the coin, if you want to call it that - the thing didn't even flip in the air.

First half of the game: well, uhhh... ok, 'nuff said.

Now let's move on to halftime: Again, no risk of runaway boobs here - who wouldn't love everyone's favorite Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney? Uh, me, my wife, and most of the rest of the 18-34 male audience? Granted, his performance of "Live and Let Die" was pretty cool, but then he led the audience into the second half of the biggest game of the year with the grand finale: the oh-so-energizing "Hey Jude". Gee, nothing gets you pumped up for some good-ol' helmet-smashing football like a slow, sad song from a crusty old Englishman.

Second half of the game: finally, something interesting. Most (if not all, can't quite remember) of the scoring happened, with a few great catches and several turnovers. Not bad, but I've seen better games (Jets/Steelers comes to mind).

And that's pretty much it. But wait, what about the commercials? That's usually the best part of the Superbowl, but not many fantastic spots here either. My favorites: the pilot jumping out of the plane after the Bud Light, the guy looking like he butchered his girlfriend's cat and the chimps with the whoopee cushion.

I'd love to hear everyone's opinions on the game (and your favorite commercials of course!)
