There are so many intelligent and articulate people covering the hard-hitting
issues in our country these days, that I felt it was my duty to cover the
rather inconsequential bullshit that tends to make up the vast majority of
our lives. Actually, I'll just be griping a lot which, if you weren't aware,
doubles as a synonym for complaining, and as a descriptor for
a sharp pain in the bowels.

Socks, Shits, and Superbowl Ads

Every year it's common knowledge that advertisers go all out for the Superbowl. But with people out there as cynical or more so than myself, it's tough to deliver. Advertisers will easily be criticized for trying too hard, or not hard enough. I generally never find the ads to be all that wonderful but it's because, as I believe I have mentioned here before, I don't deal well with hype. So I'll give the Will Ferrell Jackie Moon Bud Light commercial some love, because I generally like most things Will Ferrell does and, more importantly, I think I own a couple of pairs of the socks he's wearing.

Despite the title of this entry, there will be no mention of hot carls but, and I realize I am quite late on this, I had to mention this shitty rumor about Giants DE Osi Umenyiora. The thing I really wonder about rumors like this is, who goes out of their way to create them? More importantly, how do they successfully market and spread them? For all the great information the internet provides us, I just hope the lines of fact and fiction don't blur together too closely.

As a final quick note, I've begun labeling my entries. This might not actually be that helpful since I go off on many a tangent, but you can let me know your opinions, or not. Slowly I'll go back and tag my older entries as well.
