Well, the Super Bowl is over for another year. I actually watched it this year...the whole thing. Partly because I wanted to see the Packers win because so many people I know were convinced that the Steelers were going to win, but also because, over the last couple of years I've come to like the Packers. That's thanks to the fact that they're my dad's favorite team so he watches them all the time.

So the game was great; the Packers did an awesome job of stealing the ball from the Steelers; but the "entertainment" fell a little flat. First off was the Christina Aguilera version of the national anthem. How embarrassing for her...seriously, if you know you're going to sing the national anthem don't you think you might want to practice a few times to make sure you hit the right notes and, even more important, you should probably make sure you're singing the correct lyrics. The second let down was the half-time show...um, yuck. Fergie was seriously off and so was the mix. The show was not worth the hype. Maybe next year they can get it right.

So, I thought Super Bowl commercials were supposed to be better than normal, every-day commercials. If that's the case then somebody seriously dropped the ball yesterday. I did far more brow-furrowing than laughing or oohing. Seriously, it was a huge disappointment. But, that being said, there were at least three that were worth watching, for various reasons. And I shall end my post with the only ones I thought worth the watch (honorable mention goes to the two e*trade commercials).

The first is the Volkswagen: Darth Vader Kid; how cute is this?! But you have to watch the extended version, not just the one they aired during the Super Bowl.

The Coca-Cola Dragon; Not that funny, but surely fantastic for it's sheer epic-ness.

 

Snickers: Roseanne Barr...because, who doesn't want to see Roseanne get laid flat with half a tree?

 

I was going to post some more rantings today (I have a couple really great topics) but I spent most of the day in Logan City Cemetery looking for headstones to post to Find A Grave, and freezing my ears and fingers off in the process. So, instead of posting some madness I'll just post a couple of the pictures I took today.

The other day Demonia posted a video about some people who are so into Black Metal that thay are learning Norwegian. It reminded me of a post by Humon about how messed up the Danish language is. Even if you don't speak a word of Danish this video is hilarious. For those of you who don't know anything about Danish - well, apparently it's becoming increasingly more difficult for even Danes to understand each other (let alone foreigners to learn it) and from what I've seen, just forget about learning the Danish number system. Being of Danish extraction this is all fascinating to me, so I post those videos for your enjoyment now. (I've also included a second part to the Danish language video that Humon didn't have)
