In keeping with tradition, Catherine and I did absolutely nothing football related this weekend. We went where the football crowd would be least evident: art galleries. Although why we did that on this special weekend when so many other normally overrun areas are free from the drooling cretins is a mystery, but bygones are bygones. Thankfully we have other people to watch the commercials for us. In Advertising Age, Bob Garfield reviews the Super Bowl commercials. I'm told that the Apple add sucked. Garfield disagrees, but the first half is well worth reading:
When all the empties are collected, and all the street rioting is over and when the Fox pregame coverage finally ends, what will be starkly apparent is that the real Super Bowl loser was the American woman.
In a rout.
Having finished the articles with its synopses, I now feel strangely compelled to go wash my hands. And, funny, I don't feel like I missed a thing.
