...my matchmaking days are nearly..almost definitely behind me..

So we watched the Superbowl today. I have to say that this is the first big game I've watched in several years. And mostly I enjoyed it. My complaint has nothing to do with the game but the ads that played.

What is UP with all of the hitting? Slapstick comedy does have its time and place but mostly I was really....shocked and disturbed by the amount of smacking we saw during a few of the ads. And the one Dorito's ad where the little boy hit his mom's date was so low class and ghetto I was actually insulted.

The pattern we saw with men without pants/partial nudity or talking about "hot" ads for "GoDaddy.com" was just...lame.

There weren't enough truly smart, clever, or funny ads in my opinion.
My favorites:

Dodge ad where men just want to drive and they'll do any number of things like "watch your vampire tv shows, and hold your lip balm" so they can drive the awesome care they want. INSPIRED!

Mobile TV Ad with the man whose girlfriend had taken his spine..."How about no."

Letterman, Winfrey, and Leno ad was priceless.

LOVED the Clydesdales but then I always do!

The Dorito ad with the guys in the gym getting ninja'd by "Tim".

Other than that I was not impressed...and more than a little irked since our kids were watching with us. I think the Nation's IQ dropped considerably since the last time I watched the Big Game.

Now I'm watching Undercover Boss and I LOVE this guy! Sweetie!
Mom and I are going to finish watching the new BBC Emma tonight. It's made of awesome. Oh Johnny Lee Miller!! And the lead actress reminds me so much of Katee Sackhoff!

Bye
