Some of my thoughts about the whole Super Bowl shindig.
- Michael Douglas should narrate more.
- Aguilera botched the anthem.
- I am thrilled to have a team I like in the game (Packers).
- To paraphrase a friend: I don’t know who Max is, but he brews a good Pepsi.
- It has become an annual event designed to hemorrhage patriotism and product placements.
That said, my favorite Super Bowl XLV commercials and more thoughts throughout the game:
- Audi’s “New Luxury” at 10:30 in the first quarter.
- Nearly all of the Doritos commercials.
- I want to see Cowboys and Aliens now.
- The VW / Star Wars commercial at 9:28 in the second quarter.
- The jury is still out as to whether Fergie is an improvement to Guns N’ Roses songs.
- E-Trade hasn’t lost their touch at 12:39 in the third quarter.
- Eminem must be hurting for some publicity with all these commercial spots. I rather liked the Chrysler one at 4:22 in the third quarter. Calm, mellow and classy.
- The movie Rio looks like a rip off of Happy Feet. Singing birds? Check. Dancing birds? Check. Bird that is outcast from the colony for being different that is a direct reference to the undertones of racism from this country’s past? Check.
- Aaaaaand Go Packs!
