    I wonder if brains taste better if they've been subjected more to reality TV or endless "Family Guy" episodes?

    Dear sexist, misogynistic, violent, humorless Superbowl commercials:


    This is how you do it.


    Better luck next year,

    @braak:


    Every other ad was something about a 'nagging bitch' or 'look, it's ENORMOUS titties!'


    I know its audience is the football watching, bud drinking crowd, but the Super Bowl gets a fairly diverse demographic. I'm glad I just watched ANGEL reruns instead.

    I love the Rock, I really do. But if this movie doesn't have strange purple light glowing out of the kids' hands, then I'll just be disappointed.

    good grief.


    Your a depressing bunch of people you really are.


    They try to do a fun little commercial that fits the theme of the day, and you all moan about it.


    Lighten up people, its only supposed to be a bit of fun -_-

    That's the problem. It WASN'T fun.

    It was freakin' annoying. I didn't think it was possible to hate the cast even more, but these commercials did it.

    With the glasses, the 3D effect is noticable, but not terribly obtrusive (except the paddleball, which is clearly meant to make you notice the 3D-ness of it all).


    Without the glasses, it actually is a lot less eyeball-pretzelling than red/cyan anaglyph (well, except the paddleball scene). It sorta reminds me of reading Sunday newspaper comics when the color plates were misaligned.
