*My* Phoned-In Hungover Contractually Obligated Day-After-Super-Bowl Post
Continuing in the tradition set by MamaPop Besterd Pet Cobra and his New Year’s Day post, I bring you this drivel. So long as the definitions of “awake,” “functioning,” and “at work,” remain loose, I am totally all three. And I’m not hungover from drinking, but rather from freaking the hell out for roughly six hours.
I am a Steelers fan. I bleed black and gold. Today, I am so, so happy. I really have to tip my hat to the Arizona Cardinals. They played an amazing game and they did not for one second let us get comfortable.
The whole city feels a little different today. Everyone is very tired, but the grins are nearly impossible to suppress.
This isn’t a sports blog, so I won’t inundate you with all of the stuff about it being the most exciting Super Bowl game ever, or about how James Harrison and Santonio Holmes defied reality with their touchdowns. But I will turn your attention to two commercials that really stood out to me.
I don’t think I’m alone in the feeling that the Super Bowl commercials have really fallen off. They used to be a reason to watch the game, especially if your team wasn’t playing or if you didn’t really care about football but wanted to take part in the revelry anyway. But hints of brilliance were still present in the Coke Zero ad featuring Troy Polamalu, which was an homage to an iconic Coke commercial featuring Joe Greene. The original and the update are below:
On the other end of the spectrum, firmly planted in the WTF? category, is this Cash4Gold ad featuring…Ed McMahon and MC Hammer.
Besides the fact that Cash4Gold is a total rip off, I wonder if McMahon and Hammer are taking the good-natured self-deprecating humor a little too far. I just felt dirty after watching this.
