Damnit
So I spent the whole day on a self-imposed internet ban, because we recorded the Super Bowl last night and were planning on watching it taped today, and I didn’t want to ruin my first real Super Bowl experience by “accidentally” knowing the score. And trust me when I say that for someone as web addicted as myself, it took a LOT OF EFFORT to not check any websites ALL DAY LONG. And this self-imposed ban included Yahoo, toot, JB, Facebook, etc.
We just finished the tape and I’m really annoyed that the Pats lost. I mean… after a perfect season, Brady shouldn’t lose to pseudo-Manning. I mean, I don’t really have any preference to either team but karma should have played its role. Bleh. Quite honestly though, I sort of figured that the Giants would win because SM’s GChat status was “booo” and because H told me that the game sucked. Damn it, next year I’m not even checking my GMail.
Anyway, nevermind the rant above. To sound more like myself, here are my favorite Super Bowl ads for the year:
My favorite:
My second favorite (I guess because Timberlake gets beat up so bad):
My third favorite (just because its brilliant marketing):

I thought Tide’s “talking stain” commercial was the funniest.
Check out their web site :D

I enjoyed the giant pigeons. I don’t even remember what it was advertising for, so perhaps it is not good marketing, but nevertheless the idea of giant pigeons running a muck is pleasing.

Yeah, the first one was just goofy funny. The second was awesome, simply because Timberlake gets totally creamed (and the cameo appearance by Andy Samberg in a wig), but the third one is just lame.
Have you ever tried to register a domain name with GoDaddy? The site is confusingly atrocious. Sure, they’re cheap, but the process is like pulling teeth. And managing your domains after the fact is like running your fingers down a chalkboard.

I am so happy that the Patriots lost…the Giants won it for all the normal people out there and displayed that no one is perfect. Any ways Tom Brady is embodiment of the perfect man—he is beautiful (perfect jaw, stands at 6 feet 4 inches, perfect hair), dating a Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and already have three superbowl rings, and he is only thirty. If this was a Greek myth he would’ve won the game a descended to join the gods of Olympia.

I drove by the stadium in Phoenix where the game was about to take place FOUR hours later and the traffic was incredibly busy.
