What I did on "Super Sunday"...

[johno]

Not much...

I planted a new rose bush in front of the house, then went over to some friend's to watch the TV coverage on their new big screen HDTV.

Was it worth it today, not really.

A couple of cute commercials (Pepsi & mLife), but no stunners. The only dot.com holdouts were Monster.com and HotJobs.com. Otherwise most of the commercials were yawners.

Santana's preshow concert was great. One of the singers kept getting distracted by Carlos' playing and kept messing up her lip syncing.

Celin Dion singing "God Bless America" [edit] was just wrong on several levels. [I don't know how good or bad a job she did, I left the room. I dislike her angsty style of singing.]

Dixie Chicks doing the National Anthem was great.

Half-Time was good, though we think Shania got stuck on the lifter, so she couldn't join Sting and Steffie for the final sing along.

And Bon Jovi as part of the after events, was just a waste. Though the Tampa Cheerleaders seemed to be having lots of fun just dancing around.

After Penn & Teller had several obvious chances to swap their "prediction", we returned home.

I liked marijuana one with the young mother. I thought that was pretty effectivish.

I agree, that could have been tactless and tasteless, but I think they actually did a good job with making it too the point without falling into the potential traps.

I found it enraging myself. It's the sequel to their very tasteless "Marijuana smoking gets you raped" ad, complete with the same girl. Their point is specious and they're getting more and more sensationalist with each passing year.

Ahh, I had missed the first one so I didn't know that was the first part. Without the first one it wasn't bad, but I can see that with the first it would be sensationalist and tasteless...
