Superbowl Review!

Pre Game show of Stevie Wonder and Friends: "God, John Legend is so ridiculously hot. Apparently the sound guy thinks so, too, because he's the only vocalist I can hear. Which is a real shame since Stevie Wonder and Joss Stone are just as incredible. Oooh, love the fact that the other vocalists end the show in some prearranged pose and John Legend just steps in front of all of them to take a bow. Nice."

Pre-Game special on Bill Cowher: "Hey, the Monongahela! Hey, the Smithfield St. Bridge!" CAE: "The what?"

National Anthem: "Fucking sound guy. I can barely even hear Aretha. And she's hard to tone down."

Me, mid game, talking to Joey Porter like he can hear me: "The tackle is over! GET THE FUCK OFF OF HIM!" CAE, laughing: "It's so cute when you swear. You're, what, five-foot-nothing? What the hell are you going to do to Joey Porter?"

Halftime Show: "Hey, at least I can hear Mick Jagger--who totally still has IT, wow. The other guys are almost comatose up there, but Mick is workin' it. Go Mick!"

More halftime show: CAE and I get into a long discussion about why we've had two ENGLISH acts, of all things, two years in a row. English OLD guys. And this year the Superbowl is in MOTOWN, of all places! We agree that some other act should have been pregame and that Stevie Wonder should have had the Halftime Show, with maybe Mariah Carey and Aretha. They could have dominated the stage.

So sad I missed Macguyver. I was trying to convince The Boy's computer to let me check my gmail and missed part of the game and that particular commercial.

LOVED FedEx. Hated any mention of Pizza Hut after seeing Jessica Simpson once. CAE gets a lot of points for also hating on Jessica Simpson. Hate the fact that we got pizza anyway, after seeing commercials for it five thousand times. (Full disclosure: We got DOMINO's, not Pizza Hut.) Goddamn commercials.

Oooooh, the Washington State Credit League commercial! I love commercials!

Didn't see the Washington State Credit League commercial? The commercial with two guys rapping, one black guy and one scrawny red-headed white guy with huge bling, obviously dressed to be a poser?
Here's a link.


One of the guys in that commercial, somewhere, is Adrian Ryan, who pens "Celebrity I Saw U" for The Stranger, Seattle's infamous independent newspaper. Most recent column.

Stay with me, it's important! Here's Adrian's coverage of the commercial. (coming soon, but here's the link)

The question is: WTF? Where does the persona that appears in the column appear in the commercial? Can it be the scrawny, cute, red-headed white guy? Can anyone be that schizo? Is it one of the actors shouting: Action! ? Will my world ever be the same?
