we the champs in this game

the Super Bowl was straight. too bad there was so much rain though. I would have loved to see Marvin Harrison get Super Bowl MVP. I was rooting for the Bears to win and him for MVP. Oh well.

as for the commercials...eh

some were good. and some were...eh

The Lays Brand one was so cliche. "We're all winners."
Please blow me. Yes, I understand that it is February. Yes, I know February is Black History Month. Yes, I know both head coaches were Black and one of them was going to be the first Black NFL coach to win the big one. But c'mon, people. Sometimes, you just have to wonder who the hell is pitching these ads. Did anyone else peep how one scene has people still in their church choir robes? As soon as it came on, you could tell some Black stuff was about to go down...

Speaking of Black stuff. Does Coca-Cola believe that Black history stopped after 1963? It was some kind of salute to history makers. But really though. They could've at least mentioned Deval up in that piece. nahmean.

As for Snickers...well let's just say they might have some LGBT organizations a li'l heated. But of course, I went to the site anyways and apparently that's not even the best ad they had. I think the Love Boat one is what should have aired if it had to be one of the four options.

Speaking of getting people heated, the Bud Light commercial definitely left a sour taste in my mouth. With all the debate the immigration issue has raised, the go and show an ad during the Super Bowl that throws gasoline on stereotypes and bias. No speaky de ingles? Are you fuqing kidding me, son? That shT was extra corny and just plain distasteful. But their rock, paper, scissors one was good though.


Other commercials that I enjoyed were the Connectile Dysfunction one from Cingular, the GM robot that had a nightmare that he lost his job, the heart that got attacked, the hamsters using a mouse to surf blockbuster.com, and all of the CareerBuilder ones.

and whoever did the Flash for the Emerald Nuts website is sick with. seriously. Too bad their ad sucked.

and could you imagine what happened after the game?!

Taboo! Holla!
