It's the super bowl and it's sunday. That makes 2 great reasons to rest eh?
Somehow this game is representative of everything that's right with our society. Sport brings people together in a way that almost nothing else does. It's mob mentality in a good way. It's about people getting together for fun and comraderie. It's about health and active lifestyle.
Somehow this game is representative of everything that's wrong with our society. It's about selling lousy beer. It's about gambling. Its about marketing cars, and sport drinks, and all kinds of other shit to people who can't afford it. And it's about sitting on the couch instead of getting outside to get some exercise.
So I'm watching it but I'm not drinking beer. I already did my weights and went for a short run, and I promise not to buy anything they pitch.....well... my truck is getting kind of old...hmmmm?
But the super bowl is also about very old rock singers who just don't got it anymore! But I still love em anyway!

Hey, I think that is the about the only discussion about football that is not a total waste of space and energy!
Thanks, Pete
The superbowl is also the ultimate symbol of hypermasculinity and heteronormativity. "Real" men of course love sports, violence, beer and trucks... and naked women in all their commercials. But no gay stuff allowed! (See: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/446726-CBS_Rejects_Super_Bowl_Ad_from_Gay_Dating_Site.php)
But that's just me whining.
