The Coke ad that features the dueling balloons…not only because it was funny, but it was prophetic. Here the Giants were predicted by just about every pundit to be losers, and in the fourth quarter there’s an ad that shows perennial loser at sports, Charlie Brown, triumphing over the redoubtable competition of Underdog and Stewie.
Congrats, Coca Cola. You’re still the real thing.

Yes, because you demanded it: Beginning at 6 PM, this website will provide ongoing commentary on the Super Bowl commercials.
Why? No clue.

I have taken the liberty of shutting down comments on the “Had a feeling” thread, not because anyone was saying anything unacceptable–indeed, Marv’s comments were particularly welcome–but, Marv’s posting notwithstanding, it appeared to have run its course and instead was serving as a magnet for a particularly virulent spambot. So I’ve turned off comments on that thread in hopes that it will dispatch the spambot to whatever cyberhell spat it out.
Second, just as a general reminder, this board will not tolerate people endeavoring to pose as, or post as, other people…particularly well-known people. Bad enough that it takes a certain degree of cowardice to snipe from hiding; endeavoring to impersonate others, no matter how hamhandedly and obvious such attempts are, is beyond the courtesy I wish to extend to posters. Indeed, such rude behavior deserves no courtesy whatsoever. So any counterfeit idiots will have their comments deleted. In the future I would appreciate more sensible board denizens refraining from responding to such yahoos because you’ll just be perpetuating comments that I will have deleted and I’ll probably have to wind up deleting your comments too, in order to avoid confusion.
Thank you.
UPDATE: And just so you know, if you’re an idiot/one of the idiots who thinks that it’s clever to post slams under fake names. Those comments aren’t merely being deleted. They’re being junked. What that means is that they’re being kicked into a special folder which takes note of them. And if there are enough junked e-mails from one source, the program translate it as spam and blocks the origin point. Which means that such individuals will wind up effectively banning themselves.
