One has witnessed no commercial-related chatter but they're probably available to watch on the Youtubez noa

It’s apparently Superbowl Sunday. Who knew? I’m seeing some chatter about the halftime show.

I liked the blocking of the halftime show. The opening of the halftime show looked like the Moloch scene in Metropolis. The sound engineering was amateur, though, lots of people complained about that. The sound crew was having a bad night, all around. It wasn't just the half time show, the announcers had problems, too. They should have hired professionals to run sound for the superbowl.

How where the commercials?

Lame. Not as many big companies this year. I think coke and pepsi and anheiser-busch had no commercials because they don't want to try to thread the needle of appearing too somber or too happy at a massive super spreader event, in the middle of a pandemic. Lots of commercials for the Paramount+ streaming service, though, which is just crazy. Nobody wants to buy Paramount+.

Nobody wants to buy Paramount+.

Sounds as a good reason to me to advertise as hell, in an attempt to make it look good and to try to get the brand more popular.

Is GM a Trump company?

It's an American car company. That's close enough.

Got attention a few years back. I like how Hawkins fights for the win at the end.

Someone told me there was a sports madness on TV tonight. I liked a sport once. Or perhaps that was somebody that I used to know.
