OH BABY, strike up the marching band. People are doing flips down the streets, old ladies are fainting and the monkey cages are being raided (I’ll explain that last statement in a few paragraphs) The Super bowl is only a few days away, and the hype is already at a fever pace.
The best part about the Super bowl is the fact that it has nothing with American Football Conference champions taking on the National Football Conference champions to determine the champion of the National Football League. Football is only the backdrop. In fact, many of the 93 million people in the more than 40 countries really don’t care about the football game. I bet you more people care about what Tom Brady is going to do after the game than the final score. (Let me guess Tom, you’re going to Disneyworld.)
So why are people going to going the tune into this year’s game you might ask. The reply is simple—monkeys and boobies.
I say monkeys because of the commercials:

Everybody tunes in for the commercials. Commercials that mostly feature monkeys, or chimpanzees (Yes, I know the difference) dressing up like people and doing funny things. I must admit, that as much as I do care about the football game, I also tune in for the monkeys. I love the monkeys and I’m glad that most advertising agencies have realized that most people love monkeys also. I hope there are at least three different monkey commercials this year.
I also hope Budweiser comes to its senses and brings Budbowl back. Next to monkeys, beer bottles playing football also rock:

I say boobies, because of Janet Jackson and her contribution to our popular culture. http://www.teambio.org/uploads/JanetJacksonSuperBowlPic.jpg Don’t tell me anyone goes to the bathroom during halftime anymore. Thanks to Justin and a convenient “wardrobe malfunction” people are all about seeing this year’s outrageous antics during halftime. Those that tuned in last year weren’t disappointed, Prince’s performance is still kicking ass right now, not because there were any boobies, just because Prince is a little man who kicks ass.
Well I hope you are all ready for the excitement. Tom Petty is set for the main stage. I don’t care what part of his wardrobe malfunctions; he will have a hard time topping Prince. One thing I do know, I will be tuning in to find out.
