I just read that there will be no tailgating allowed within a 1 mile perimeter of the Super Bowl. Is this new? What is the reason for it? How can you have any sporting event (esp the SB) and not allow tailgating? We did it at the World Series years ago. Someone please tell me the logic behind this.
I am glad I've be home watching it on my 57" HD TV!
Go Colts!

What's with CSI?
So I'm watching the latest episode of CSI (the original version of course) with my 14 year old son. Not only have they completely faked a crime scene to arrest a fake suspect to lure the real suspect in a similar crime out of hiding... (sounds a bit far fetched, yes, and CSI:Las Vegas seems to be heading down the incredulous path that Miami and NY have gone), but the end up not being able to prosecute because the D.A. couldn't figure out the ruse. Hey, D.A., one scene was real, the other was faked. Defense attorney was right, though, try proving to a jury that the real evidence IS real.
I'm getting off track. I could go on and on and on about the CSI shows and their flaws. Now my background may lead me to find itty bitty and major flaws in the program, but it should at least be able to pull off the gag on a 14 year old, right? So here we are watching, and the CSIs are trying to link the suspect to a residence that has been cleaned. They notice a missing pillow and surmise that the suspect may have slept on the couch. A quick tape lift of the couch yields many, many long hairs (head hairs, apparently). The CSI's are bummed because the suspect is about to be released without further evidence and it will take way to long to sort through all those hairs. My 14 year old turns to me and says, "Why would they be looking for hairs anyway, the guy is bald". He's right. The guy is bald. Totally bald.
Hey CSI: the 14 year olds aren't buying it anymore. You're about done.

American Idol - Days 1 and 2
Mostly day 2. I didn't pay too much attention to day 1 but my favorite was Sarah who sang Over the Rainbow. I took notes on day 2. Seattle!
Jennifer, the girl called herself "The Hotness"... needs a mirror. Amy, a cold doesn't cause tone that bad. There were at least two from Bothell. They both sucked bad. Red said he sings "kar-o-key". Maybe he'd be a better singer if he sung karaoke instead. I would NEVER enter a singing competition but even so, I sing better than 90% of the crap I heard on the shows. Really, who tells these people they can sing and should go on the show? I like the guy from Utah, the geek. His co-workers urged him to go on the show. I bet they did. Nice one.
Thomas, the guy who quit his gas station job and sang "Arms of a Woman" sounded good. Blake the "beat box" had some promise but he threw in the beat box-ish stuff so who knows. Shyamali and her brother, both good. I actually liked her better but she needs some more power in her voice and some "style" or something pizazzy. He was too boring though he had a richer voice. Rudy sang open arms. Pretty good stuff. I wish he had sung the right words. He sounded almost as good as I do singing that one. Okay, I stop before the high notes. The 16 year old, Jordan, was the best of the bunch. Really nice and powerful voice.
That Taylor Hicks self-professed look-alike? The hairdresser? Uh, no. I also saw look-alikes for Tom Cruise, Cindy Lauper, a troll, and Tammy Faye Bakker. Nice group.
Your thoughts, Moon Frog?

TV Commercials
Not that I want ripping on commercials to be the focus of this blog, but they are asking for it lately. It seems the latest trend is to make a commercial with something "unique" and "attention grabbing" that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the product, mind you, and then run the commercial about a billion times. The hope of course is that when I'm hungry and only have 3 bucks, I will first think of Wendy's. If I only had 3 bucks, though, I'd be able to stretch that 3 bucks better at the grocery store.
Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but for those of us with even slightly more than half a brain, after we see a commercial like twice we have the concept down pat and know whether or not we are going to buy your stuff. If you keep ramming it into our senses we aren't going to zombie walk to the store to buy your product, we're going to start to hate your commercial, then tear the commercial apart, then just hate your whole company.
So to you, Dodge trucks, stop already. Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots were made of plastic. Toyota trucks: Oh yeah, you have tough trucks and sure after what the truck goes through there's no damage. When will the next truck maker have their truck destroy a Toyota and Dodge? I'm all over cars today. Acura dudes, check it out. Gravity is a constant force. Dropping a car or any other object causes a certain maximum speed (slower if there is wind resistance of course). So obviously a car can go faster on the ground. Your car may be "faster than gravity" but so what? If I dropped a ball alongside the car, it would make it to the ground quicker. Now I don't know much about physics and aerodynamics, but I think I'm right. Now it might not be Acura's commercial, I could be mistaken, but it shows only that your commercial has not accomplished its goal. I don't want to buy your car I just want to rip apart your commercial.
Sorry to pick on the auto commercials and all.
