So, for another year it's all over. I must admit that I watched the game and I enjoyed it. But it was the game that I enjoyed, not so much the spectacle and extravagance. Somehow I feel taken-advantage-of, knowing that advertisers are paying $3.5M for 30 seconds of my eyeballs and all I get for it is a) the opportunity to watch a football game and b) higher cable, Coke, Doritos, Chevy and Chrysler prices. Can it really be true that someone who wasn't already going to buy a Chevy truck is going to buy one because only a Chevy truck and Twinkies will survive Armageddon?
Anyhow, I wonder how many "occupiers" watched the game with a Bud in one hand and a hand full of Doritos in the other, contributing to the pockets of the one-percenters they were watching.
Perhaps next year the "Boycott Superbowl" movement will get more traction. The sports madness has got to stop somehow.
