I know there were a lot of angry people voicing their idiotic opinions following this year’s superbowl halftime show, but most of them weren’t stupid enough to sue.

Mr Stephenson filed a claim in small claims court because information in TV previews led him to believe the half-time show would include marching bands, balloons and patriotic celebration.

marching bands, balloons and flag-waving displays of patriotism? why, that sounds so unlike any sort of programming I’ve ever seen. they’re not around for every festival, celebration, pageant, anniversary, quilting bee, bar mitzvah, or high school football game. no, sir! this “super of bowls” sounds like something I can put the bible down to watch.

what could possibly be better than the best fake sports movie since baseketball?

why, maybe this little film? or perhaps this one?

this sort of thing wouldn’t happen with munger in office because we would’ve converted to communism by now.

got time to kill? try watching the first 5 minutes of shrek 2. it was #1 at the box office this weekend, but the idea of a free sample to draw in the crowds can’t hurt:

1. give them a taste; leave them wanting more
2. …
3. PROFIT

trouble is, the first 5 minutes of most movies are usually cheesy intros with explosions and people running in slow motion. now, some may say that’s because I only watch movies from the tag-team action combo of michael bay and jerry bruckheimer (bruckheimer does get props for the amazing race, though), but that’s just nonsense. if all movies had scenes where ben affleck and liv tyler play with animal crackers, the world would be a better place.

oh, and congratulations to peter jap, who got engaged this past weekend.
