I'm going to wrap up my Superbowl-themed posts with a quick rundown of yesterday's extravaganza:
Jennifer Hudson's rendition of our national anthem -- great!
Bruce's half-time show -- great (and I'm not just saying that cause he's from Jersey)!
Second half of the game -- great (even though the Cardinals lost)!
Superbowl commercials -- NOT so great!
Overall, I was really disappointed with the level of un-funny that were the Superbowl commercials. Bud, in particular, was disappointing to me because they have always come up with some clever ads. Remember the Bud-weis-er frogs? Or, more recently, this one:
Hopefully, next year, they drop the horses and redeem themselves.
Amidst all the horrific commercials, however, were a few noteworthy bits. I enjoyed the E*Trade ad--I appreciated the cute black baby they brought into the mix and, if the fact that he just randomly broke out into song wasn't funny enough, he busted out Tupac's 'Broken Wings' which, for some reason, just made it that much funnier for me. Doritos to me had the two best commercials of the night and I have given top honors to this one that actually had me laughing out loud:
So that's that...one more Superbowl come and gone...anyone have any thoughts they'd like to share about the game, the commercials, etc.? I'd love to hear input from others...

Hottie of the Week
In keeping with the Superbowl spirit, this week's hottie award goes to one sexy (albeit slutty) footballer--Tom Brady.
Sure, Brady is a baby-mama abandoning ass who plays for one of the cockiest God-awful, over-rated teams in the NFL (a.k.a the Patriots)...luckily for him, I'm not basing my decision on any of that. The fact of the matter is that, as much as I hate to admit it because it goes against everything I stand for as a Giants fan, the guy is gorgeous! I would score touchdowns with him on--and off--the field. Word on the street is that he has a girlfriend. You may know her--legs for days Victoria Secret model Gisele Bundchen. But ladies, if he liked it then he should've put a ring on it! Until he puts a ridiculously big diamond on her bony little finger, it's fair game! Play on...

Mid-Week WTF's
Superbowl time is upon us--a time for football, food, and, if we're lucky, a string of fabulously funny commercials. To that note, this week's WTF's are dedicated to ads that you won't see this Sunday (and many thanks to NBC for making that happen)...
1. PETA's "Veggie Sex" ad -- WTF! The ad features half naked women caressing and licking vegetables like it's their job...yuck ladies, get a vibrator!!! You say PETA, I say PITA--Pain In The Ass--'cause that's exactly what this group is! Seriously, the only people who pay attention to these ads are straight men and I'm pretty sure that the message they're receiving has nothing to do with being a vegetarian. In closing, let me just say this: I'll take a thick, juicy sausage over a head of celery any day ;o)
2. AshleyMadison.com "WHO are You Doing After the Game?" ad -- WTF! In case you aren't aware, AshleyMadison.com is a website designed to play matchmaker for people looking to have an affair. That, in itself, is a big WTF! The divorce rate in America is already 40% and we certainly don't need Ashley Madison's help to achieve such a painstaking makes-me-want-to-never-get-married statistic! If you want to cheat on your wife or husband, do you really need a website? Just take your wedding ring off before you go out...or better yet...leave it on! Men love the seeming unattainability of the married woman and women are tragically attracted to the married man's seeming ability to commit. See, how hard is that? But seriously, here's an idea for those of you who don't want to spend the rest of your lives with just one person: Don't get married! Stay single, live it up 'Sex and the City' style and do society a favor by keeping the divorce rate down. Sounds like a win-win to me...

I'm sure there are plenty more but I'm all WTF'd out for the day. Have a happy Superbowl (Go Cardinals) and stay tuned for next week's edition.
