Super Bowl

I love watching the Super Bowl. It's one of my favorite things to look forward to for a few reasons.
1) Let's be honest, it's ALL about the commercials. And watching Roseanne get flattened by a log for Pepsi Max was amazing.
2) Listening to Alex impersonate John Madden. Best Quote of the Night: "Gahh I'm so drunk. I wanna make out with Brett Favre."
3) I actually love football. I'm always too busy to watch it every weekend (read "i forget about watching it") but I thoroughly get into the game. I'm one of those people who jump off the couch and squeal things like "WHAT?!?! DID YOU SEE THAT?! THAT WAS FUCKING SWEET!"
4) I love watching the half time show. And I adore making fun of it if it sucks.

This is where I am going to leave my list about the Super Bowl and begin a new list about the... umm... "show" presented by the Black Eyed Peas.
1) The Black Eyed Peas are good on the radio. They should stay there.
2) Whoever was working their sound must have gone into some kind of epileptic fit during the LED show because their mic and music levels were ALL OVER THE PLACE.
3) I also tip my hat to the sound guy for very rarely making us suffer through Fergie's vocal... eccentricities.
4) Axl Rose is still alive. No one but Axl Rose should sing Sweet Child O' Mine. No one. ESPECIALLY NOT FERGIE. I think my ears bled. And I'm sure Axl just wondered what on earth happened to real music.
5) I will admit, their LED work was pretty. But that doesn't excuse the cacophony of sounds that they were emitting without any concern for the millions of people watching this game.
6) I have decided that if someone shot Fergie, I would be okay with it.
7) Will. I. Am was so auto-tuned that I am now convinced he is a robot from outspace.
8) What is the point of the other two Black Eyed Peas? I could see no point. One is ethnic of some nature so I guess that's his contribution. But the other guy... well... he just had weird hair. And that's cool but doesn't seem worth that much.
9) I'm still in shock of Slash. I love him. He is phenomenal. But he just sold out. Big time. DURING THE SUPER BOWL. Well, if you gotta go out, I guess going big works.
10) Usher was disappointing. But his split was badass. No kids for you, sir. But it was worth it. It was honestly the high point of the whole thing.

I shall now go back to watching the game. I have been raised in a home that roots for the Steelers. But I have lived the past 4 years in Baltimore and the Steelers totally kicked the asses of the entire Ravens team. I'm talking total rapage of Flacco. And Alex is from Baltimore so I feel the need to root against the Steelers. Either way, I'm kind of okay with whoever wins- no matter how blasphemous that sounds.

*Side Note: WHAT IS JUSTIN BEIBER AND OZZY OSBOURNE DOING IN THE SAME COMMERCIAL?!?!?! Wait... they just saved it for announcing that Beiber looks like a girl. I can concede to this.
