Bush in 30 Seconds
interesting interesting what you find late at night when looking for distractions after dealing with the oh so exciting world of accounting.
going through superbowl ads (caused i skipped the game for a reason i cover below), i came upon the CBS not airing spots by moveon.org, and censoring an ad by PETA. so i click and search and wrap my little brain around the idea that i must see these ads.
i spent more time viewing these, and thought they were better (ill explain why later) than the actual superbowl commercials. so go figure. think i might be in danger of growing up and being a mature adult... my inner child is drowning.
anyway, watch the damn videos.
as for the superbowl.
its a game catered specifically for television. everything about the game. shape of the field, plays, offense defense, all of it. realize that its the only game where the offense and defense move in straight lines against each other, only one pass is made so its easy to focus on who has the ball (and put as many cameras on him as possible), the field is easy to view from the ends, and the sidelines, lots of downtime to allow for commercials (either at the bottom of the screen or commentator spoken), rigorously timed (ends exactly when cbs needs it to), and with enough time outs breaks and intermissions to allow for excessive advertising, and its aired in a time of the year when it is known that people will be inside (on a sunday in the middle of january when its freezing outside).
so cbs has a captive audience (other stations wont compete, ever, because its counter productive to take audience from the superbowl in case they ever air it... maximize the audience regardless of who has it... except nbc), and nbc gave up on major sports. why, cause they cost way too much money to keep. so they gave it up (that led to the xfl so maybe it isnt working out so great for them...) and pizza companies make half their sales during the superbowl (also number one day for spousal abuse... cause my team lost BITCH! slap slap)
but regardless... the ads for the superbowl just start to blur together. it comes down to, sex or animals (oh god let them NEVER combine the two). sexual innuendo, sexual situations, sexual references, sexual misfunctions, or horny talking monkey (actual commercial title) animals in funny situations. and that pretty much does it. (the ibm ali commercial was pretty damn good though.) so if i have to sit through commercials that pretty much sell beer and sex. and beer commercials gave us Whazzzup, the most annoying way for people to answer the phone in a long time, (personally im a fan of "County Morgue" followed by something like, takeout or delivery... dropoff or pickup... everybody is stiff... stiffs 24/7) and the Twins commercial (and honestly its the song that made that commercial, cause the idea is just a play on the doublemint commercials of years past) but otherwise... i couldnt care less. not like it matters really. and, even though im a guy i dont understand why people obssess so much and spend time learning players names, who got traded were, for how much, their stats, height, weight, origin, college attended, passing, rushing, pitching, recieving, blocks, kicks, etc etc etc.. and then reciting them whenever it comes up.
you know... you could almost build a case that im queerly in denial. you shouldnt, but you could. youd also be wrong, so whatever.
im off to bed so i can wake and learn more about dividends and future monies.
