Greatest Invention Ever....of 2007

OK, call me behind the times, but I just got the new 3rd gen iPod touch. I had no idea what I was missing out on! This thing is absolutely amazing. There is nothing you can't do on this thing. It is literally a pocket computer....but better. There are very few things a laptop can do that this thing can't, but there are plenty of things a touch can do that a laptop can't. Basically, the only thing I use my laptop for now is to print documents. I truly know why so many people switched to AT&T just for the phone. All of the Verizon phones are literally cheap imitations. Everyone out there that has a touch or an iPhone, please respond to this and tell me your favorite part of the greatest invention of our time.

Interesting Valentine Gifts

For all the people out there that may question my adaption to marriage, I have one statement that will prove my domestication.
I got a blender for Valentine's Day. That's right, a blender. My wife knows that I love to make smoothies for the family, our old blender wasn't cutting it. The gift itself does not make me domesticated, it is the fact that I love the gift. I love my blender, it makes great smoothies. The most irrelevant question I can think of right now is "am I a wussy". The answer is too obvious to even entertain that question.
Guess what my wife got? A Dyson vacuum. OK blog crowd, bring it on, I am ripe for the teasing.

The First Lady's Attack on Fat Kids

I heard today that Mrs. Obama's main focus during her time in the white house was to do away with childhood obesity. Much like Nancy Regan with "just say no" and Barbara Bush's reading programs.
I am torn on this one though. I am all for getting these fatty kids out and playing instead of sitting inside glued to the TV. My concern is that there is going to be a ton of money and policies thrown at this problem, all for naught.
Lets face it, 95% of the time, if a kid is fat it is because of his/her parents. Until the kid is about 14 the parents have total control over how much TV the kid gets and how much the kid eats. This sounds like just another government program that tries to be mommy and daddy for all the terrible parents out there. No amount of money, no amount of programs will make up for bad parenting. BUT, I do think focusing on physical education and health awareness is a really good thing. Newsflash, schools already have this, it is mandatory. The only problem is, you can't make kids run in PE, you can't make kids listen in health class. I commend Mrs. Obama for wanting to do away with childhood obesity, I can't think of a better task she can take on. Bravo Mrs. Obama. How she executes her plan on accomplishing this task, will be the true measure of this First Lady.
If she personally goes around talking to children about health and physical activity, I will tip my hat to her. If it is just, yet another, government program with good intentions but piss poor execution and results (No Child Left Behind, ring a bell?). Then I assure you I will write a very strongly worded blog!

Super Bowl Analysis

OK, another Super Bowl down. What did you think of it? I have been hearing mixed reactions on the radio and TV. I really liked the Who halftime show....I may be the only one. Give me washed up old rockers with great songs any day over Timberlake and Janet's boob. I hate teenybopper halftime shows. The only teen-beat half time show that I liked was the Orange Bowl a couple of years ago when Ashley Simpson got "boooooooed", it was classic!!
Game wise, great game. Hard fought on both sides. I was rooting for the Colts because I like to see Manning pick defenses apart. I have to hand it to the Saints, they had his number this time. Also, even though I was not rooting for the Saints, they played exactly how I want to see a team play. They took risks, they played to win, not just to "not lose". The onside kicke to start the half, they blitz, they went for it on fourth!! All great stuff that we need more of.

Commercials What was the big deal about the Tebow commercial?! The worst thing abortion groups could have done was argue about this commercial, if they would have just kept their mouth shut, the commercial wouldn't have even made a blip on the radar. Except for it being totally ridiculous. The marketing genius behind this "abortion" (pun intended) needs to update his resume. Who forms their mom up? I could see passing her a football or something, but a full fledged tackle? Tim isn't even a defensive player, he probably hasn't tackled someone since Pee Wee football....let alone his mother. Terrible

Betty White "that is not what your girlfriend said" hilarious! I loved that snickers commercial.

LeBron and Dwight not knowing who the crusty old white guy is (Larry Bird) would have been funny if it wasn't true.

Doritos and the dog collar....Let me get this straight, you spent 1.3 million on 30 seconds of air time but you can't afford some quality CGI to make the dogs arms look real? stupid idea, poorly executed.

Doritos in the coffin....funny idea, the people at Bud Light would have done better with it.

The bridge made out of people to get the Bud truck across....mediocre at best.

The Bud Light commercial that I did like was the plane crash survivors partying with the new found bud light while the sciencey chick is trying to get the radio to work.

The Green Police....too close to the truth, if liberals get their way this commercial will be a blueprint for the latest task force.

One thing that I was very happy about, not once did the camera pan to the Kardasians. Thanks you, thank you, thank you. I thought the camera was going to be on a swivel between the Mannings and the Kardasians.

If I missed your favorite commercial, let me know and tell me why it was so good.
