The Hangover

It was said last year that nearly 1.4 million adults planned to call in sick to work on the day after the Super Bowl. I'm thinking I should've been one of them today. Not because I ate too much or had too much to drink but because of everyone elses Super Bowl hangovers. As soon as I got to work this morning, I heard all the opinions on the game, the commercials, the halftime show. And I just have to ask, what are you people's standards for a halftime show? If you want Dave Barnes or John Mayer up in there with the acoustic guitar being all mellow and low-key, then you might as well be watching the High School Musical Marathon that was on Disney last night. Cause that aint happening. The Super Bowl is EPIC. Maybe not the football part exactly, but the event is a whole production. Cities spend billions to get the big game to come to them, they build extra hotels, there are parties and parades and celebrities coming out of the walls the entire week. So why would the halftime show be nothing less than some crazy 3-D techno light show with fireworks? Mostly every American and/or human would agree that Madonna is a pop icon. Whether you like her or not, she's a big deal to the music industry. But she lip-sings the halftime show with 3 different sets and suddenly everyone thinks she's crap? No I do not wish for my daughter to grow up and be like her someday, but that doesn't mean I wasn't completely entertained for those 15 minutes. And I actually didn't think she would have much of a wardrobe to malfunction, so the simple fact that she was wearing clothes is a big win for the NFL. All that to say, I should just stay home from work and stay off facebook and twitter after the Super Bowl. Everyone has their opinion and nothing reminds me more than social media the day of a big event. #haters
Whatever your opinions were on the game, we all HAVE to agree that this was the best commercial. Good dog.
