    Heroes Superbowl Commercial Is Creepiest Thing Ever

    This commercial, featuring the cast of Heroes playing football against "NFL legends," creeps me out. Maybe it's the way Angela Petrelli nods and smiles before sending Claire, wearing no protective gear, to get broken.

    Pitting our heroes against ordinary, non-superpowered people, in a football game just pinpoints how ridiculous their powers are. It makes me think President Worf is right, and they should all get locked up in super-Gitmo. Which probably wasn't the point NBC wanted to make here.

    Oh, but I know what'll make it better. How about Hiro lipsynching with Joe Cocker?
