"That's a long distance call...DOUG!"

So...the Super Bowl is coming up. I could care less, and I would hope you feel the same way. Oh, you don't, jock? Whatevs. Since I am part of the media world, I keep coming across articles about Super Bowl ads, past and future. Well, one article went through the top 10 Super Bowl ads of all time and while most of them were pretty lame, I though this was was worth posting again:



"BREAK WAS OVER 15 MINUTES AGO...MITCH!"

I love Terry Tate's delivery in this commercial and how he pauses between saying people's names. You see professional athletes in a lot of commercials, but they usually come off as awkward when forced to speak (note: Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, etc.), so I can appreciate Terry here.

Cloud Spit

I like this ad. Apparently those bikes are between $3-7k.



There are a couple other ones, but they weren't as good as that one.

Speaking about ads, watch this. I really like deadpan humor and I am keen on the delivery. "Two cannibals are eating a clown, one says to the other, 'does this taste funny to you?'" Perhaps it is because I have been a fan of Paul Harvey.



Remember when I posted these shoes months back and said that I wanted some? Well, they are finally coming out, but cost a whopping $110. I retract the statement of me wanting them. I wanted to skate in them so that the hounds-tooth appeared when the denim wore down. But if I even wasted $110 on these, there is no way I would skate in them. Lame.

That is it for now. I just need this rain to let up so that I can get some skating in. My legs are withering away...
