Super Bowl Boycott: 2012

Even before the playoff teams for the 2012 Super Bowl have been determined, I'll make my first call to boycott the event. I think it's time we made a stand against way in which the media over hypes the event with the sole purpose of shoving advertising down our throats so that we'll run to the store and spend more money to pay for the huge advertising bills, the TV rights and the players outrageous salaries.

To start the campaign off, refer to the following video featuring Michael Douglas that was shown at the beginning of the 2011 Super Bowl. Look closely at the events to which the Super Bowl is compared. Now, isn't that just a little "over the top"? The Super Bowl is the culmination of a long season rewarding two teams for being (arguably) the best. But..... it is a GAME played for entertainment. Nothing more. It's not D-Day, Iwo Jima or 9-11.

Let's start thinking of fun things we can do on Feburary 5, 2012 besides watching this over hyped extravaganza.
