Happy "watch the only interesting advertising of the year, surrounding a BORING GAME" day, everyone!

Hey, some people like watching a pack of illiterate criminals play grabass for eight figure salaries!

Wait, are we getting interesting advertising this year?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

I have no idea, but the Boring Game Boring Championship is the only time advertisers try.

Maybe "watch the only chance of interesting advertising of the year", then.

So almost halfway through, I have two words: Fuck Budweiser.

But the Cowboys aren't playing in the Super Bowl.

I haven't been watching, but generally speaking, I think Bud should get out of the beer business entirely and just make ads.

The thing is, not ONE of them thus far has actually been entertaining. (The Bud commercials... some of the others have been.)

Only one I've seen is this one, which was kind of great:

Flash Fans: 2012 Budweiser Official Big Game Commercial | BudweiserCanada | YouTube -- [We told two Port Credit, Ontario teams we were shooting a documentary about rec league hockey. We lied.]

See, that one's better than ANY of the Bud commercials I've seen thus far tonight! (If that one's for the game, it's possible I missed it in one of the times I had to get up for something or other, although I haven't missed much...)

Flava Flav made me laugh.

If I could "like" or "+1" or "retweet" this comment I so would.

From the 10s recaps, it appears the game was not nearly as boring as most HandEgg games! That's good!

(Still, when the exciting part everyone wants to see is the ADVERTISING? Yeah, no.)

That was awesome! And I don't watch sports.

It reminds me of the even-more-awesome Improv Everywhere stunt where they surprised a Little League team with fans, a Jumbotron, and the Goodyear blimp. :D
