Super Bowl: Eagles were a bit rough around the edges on offense. Glad I saw the game, would like to have seen fewer penalties. Both teams a little sloppy.
But for the real entertainment, there are Super Bowl ads.
I found a few of the commercials entertaining, amusing, a few hit the "WTF was that?" and there was a dot.com ad with a bimbo in a tank top testifying before a faux Senate sub committee that was amusing if crass, what with the emphasis on her cleavage, but the winner was:
The ad featuring the guy cooking spaghetti, the cat, and the butcher knife. Great timing and IMO, excellent pacing.
I also liked the ad for the new Mustang, albeit it's slower punch line vs my fave.
The "you are being robbed" made the error of going too far over the top, though I liked its look at the new weirdness of cell phones "hands free" moments. I see so many folks talking on mics when I go to airports that I am now used to it, but at first, I'd see folks "talking to themselves" and it took a few vignetttes before I learned to look for the wire tracing to the phone in their pocket.
Anyway, Occhi says: the cat and the knife ad wins!
Paul McCartney for Super Bowl half time?
Sorry, that was lame. I am a Beatles fan, and am impressed with Paul's overall body of work, but he is so . . . three decades ago . . . but at least he did not expose any of his unmentionables. That might have induced spontaneous mass regurgitation in the bleachers. :P
