The NE Patriots have won their third Superbowl victory in 4 consecutive years, and the sports commentators are talking about "Dynasties". Oh Phuleeze! When I hear Dynasty I think Joan Collins Soap Opera.
I made some predictions prior to the game and I was sort of right. I predicted that the Eagles would be the first to score. They did with a touch down and not a field goal. (I thought they’d score with a field goal.)
I predicted that the game would be tied in the 4th quarter and it would go to overtime. WRONG. The Patriots scored another touch down, and had a field goal and the Eagles just seemed to come unravelled. This is probably an unfair statement. McNabb pulled himself together and threw a magnificant pass to score a touch down.
I predicted that the final score would be 20-14 to the Patriots. Final score 24-21 to Patriots.
But the reason why I watched the Superbowl was for the commercials and the half time show to see if there would be any controversy (refer 2004 Nipplegate.)
My personal favorite advert was the Californian cheese commercial. A group of cute black and white cows are lined up behind a split pole fence in snow and wind. One of their number has broken out and is headed for California. It is really the cutest and funniest ad. The cow expressions are just priceless.
Kevin’s favorite advert was the Go Daddy.com Ad. A shapely and boobacious brunette is testifying before the FCC or something like that. She has a wardrobe malfunction and causes the crusty FCC members to start hyperventilating. Very cute, and cheeky too. If you want to see the advert as seen on TV and the full internet version check it out here.
Budweiser adverts were okay. I am getting a little tired of the beer commercials. But the car commercials are simply the most boring. In fact once I have seen them, I instantly forget about them. Instaforget! Boring! There should be an award for the most boring, uncreative commercials. Beer and car adverts would sweep the awards. It could be called the Wet Turkey Awards, or something like that.
I noted only one sexual performance enhancing commercial during Superbowl. Not that I care one way or the other. It’s just that last year there was such an uproar about Janet Jackson’s Nipple (whether it was about flesh being exposed, or the fact that a man ripped a woman’s clothes) and not a single peep about the number of sexual performance enhancing commercials during the Superbowl. I thought that this was kinda strange- I mean this is family entertainment.
To see a summary of all the ads check it out here. Note: my cow/ California cheese ad does not appear in the list probably because it appeared slightly before the Superbowl started. But it still was good.
Paul McCartney did a great performance and managed to keep his clothes on. Just shows you what class is really about. He sang most of the favorites. But I am afraid I could not keep awake during it – I fell asleep. (I felt like I had fallen asleep on watch – I mean, what if something controversial had happened and there I was sleeping like a baby?)
