So today, I'm adding my 2 cents to the discussion, and reviewing the Super Bowl. First, I'm happy to say that the game itself was pretty fantastic. But who watches the game for the game?

Fox ticked me off early by over-using their super high-speed camera. Really guys, it is not necessary to show a super slow mo clip after every play. Review the video, if it's interesting, show it to me. Otherwise, I don't want to see a guy getting arm tackled in slow mo. To their credit, the 2-point conversion review was very well shot, there were 3 very conclusive angles, and it was a baller play to watch.

Moving right along, the halftime was superb. Probably the best part of the whole production. Despite the fact that they didn't let people up close, they compensated well by making an INCREDIBLE stage. The lighting configuration of the stage was absolutely stunning. Add to that the laser light show out of nowhere (Where did they put all those lights in the stadium!?), and it was a really good show. Oh and it was the Who.

Most importantly though, are the commercials. Admittedly, they were a bit lack luster this year. I think there were only a couple very good commercials. Jump to read and see more!

Scamming is an illegitimate and pathetic career choice. I mean, at least be a gangster or something with some respect. But anyways, Slashdot reports:

ectotherm writes: "The nice people behind the recorded phone messages stating 'By now you should have received your written note regarding your vehicle warranty expiring...' — the ones who instantly hang up when you ask for the name of the company — have been busted. Fox News did a little background digging on the four people charged." Don't know about you, but I received three or four postcards in the mail from these scammers, as well as uncountable robocalls. The FTC says they cleared $10M since 2007.

The full story can be found on Fox News. I guess they aren't so bad after all (Fox that is, scammers still suck).

Adding my story to this. I think I got at least 3 calls on every line I own from them. Our dorm room phone which isn't published anywhere even got calls from them. Finally I pushed a button in hopes of talking (Read: cursing out) with someone one day and they didn't even pick up for me. Just goes to show you that scammers have no manners. Well anyways, glad that the auto warranty phase of my life is over now!

This is something that now needs to be brought up and thought about. This article is for everyone who's ever watched Dollhouse, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or read the New York Times (front page) today. What do all of these have in common? Read on...
