Are you ready for some football?

I am still sick but certainly feeling better. Dad is recovering from his surgery so right now half of the house is sick/enfeebled. Television is pretty much the only thing we can do as a family right now. That and snack. So Super Bowl is pretty much the best thing ever right now.

It's hard to get into the game, though. There is ten seconds of actual play and then a lot of walking around. Though it some of the most manly walking I have ever seen-- it is not really compelling television. Apparently, according to The Wall Street Journal, there are an average of 11 minutes where the ball is actually in play. Boring.

Some commercials from 2009...



Dear advertising executives: just as a general rule-- anytime you have a person joyfully riding a dolphin through the ocean, you are going to have a good ad.

and one from the past...

No one knew who or what outpost.com was then and I am pretty sure they are out of business now but this commercial is amazing. It is inappropriate on so many levels. Despite being ineffective in raising awareness for the company it deserves a high five for hilarity. (PS: If you like this-- go see the other commercial where they unleash wolves on a marching band).
