Is the actual coverage intro/break stuff basically GTA Vice City or is there just some meme lord in the BBC video editing department?

Super Bowl Ad Article

I know football fans have been waiting for the Super Bow but I'll never understand the appeal of Super Bowl commercials. They take the fun away from the game.

It's a lot like how food costs more at a stadium. In a sense they have a captive audience and a LOT of eyeballs. People have parties, people watching that don't watch football at all, the commercials in and of themselves become topical memes, water cooler talk for about a week before they more or less fade from memory.

Most of the Super Bowl commercials for the past few years have been lackluster at best if not flat out unimpressive or dumb. I, too, miss the ones that presented something in a fresh and/or creative way. Given the lack of new and original ideas in Hollywood now, I guess it's not surprising to see the same apathy and political statements being made in these commercials. The only one I found remotely likeable so far was for the one for Google with the older guy searching for photos to help jog his memory -- possibly because he had some sort of memory loss issue?

As for the game itself, the first half was exciting enough.

That halftime show was violently sexual...

... and then they just put up the kids out of nowhere. And what was that "Born in the USA" segment awkwardly spliced in there? I was so disoriented I couldn't tell if that was an "YVAN EHT NIOJ" moment or what...
