Super Bowl XLV Recap

Soooo....anybody watch that lil' football game last night? Just a couple of guys throwing the ball around a little...no biggie. I know for Chicagoans it was hard to watch the luckiest team in football there, the doggone freaking Packers...but hey, if you're going to lose (SPOILER ALERT) lose to the Super Bowl Champs, right? But this just means we're going to have to hear those gluttons in Green Bay brag for another year. The game was really the only thing worth watching in that mess, so we had that going for us. Here's a recap of what I thought of the festivities....
Pre Game...

Christina Aguilera butchered and KILLED the National Anthem! And not in the usual parts like the weird 18th Century words in that song like "Ramparts," she went and made up her own song! Sad for our country, good for comedy. It was absolutely hysterical to watch the faces on the crowd, players, troops as she Aguilera National Anthem Train just totally went off the rails! Mouths open, blank stares..."What? What did she say? What just happened?" But at least she left the assless chaps at home, and we still have Lea Michelle of "Glee" to be proud of.

The Game

Well, it was a good game, but pretty obvious that the Steelers sort of handed Green Bay that game. Maybe it was everyone wearing yellow that confused ol' Big Ben Date Rape. Who knows, but at least it was exciting up until the end. Bet that place kicker of theirs got his butt kicked in the locker room. Who almost misses an extra point? In a dome? I could make that.

Best Commercial

It was a toss up for me because the only other commercial that had me rolling on the floor was watching Roseanne Barr getting slammed by a giant log, and that is NOT a Tom Arnold joke, how dare you. But for sure the best commercial was the "Doritos Cheese Dust" one. Because it was gross, but so totally something we have all thought about at least one time when we've watched someone eat those horrible chips and have an inch of delicious MSG cheese dust on their fingers we want to lick.

Worst Commercial

That horrible over inflated Chrysler, "Don't be scared of Detroit" commercial. Because it really had the opposite effect. I am now so terrified of Detroit I won't even FLY over it anymore. Yikes. If you're trying to get rid of the "Murder Capital" of the world moniker, don't have Eminem driving in a black car looking all sinister, then at the end he puts his finger in the camera and pretty much tells you to come to Detroit or he's going to mess you up. So yeah..not a warm fuzzy for me.

The Halftime Show

Horrible. Worst. Show. Ever. For a couple of reasons. I get that the Black Eyed Peas have sold out and gone mainstream, so much so that kids and Grannies want to "Get it started in Heeeeyah!" But wow...awful show. I don't think Fergie's face moved, or she hit a note one time in the whole show. What the heck happened to our cute little Stacy from "Kids Incorporated?" Then the other thing that made the show awful was hearing the opening riff to "Sweet Child O Mine" and getting all excited that Axl and the guys put away their differences and were going to have an epic halftime reunion that would cause the world to spin off its axis...but no. Just Slash doing what he do, and Fergie butchering a classic. God. Horrible.

So there's my recap of the Super Bowl thingie that happened last night. Thoughts? Did you think save for the game, it was one big clustertruck of nonsense?
