Twilights last reaming...

Oh the Super Bowl. Since I'm old and require at least 10 hours of sleep to function normally, I missed the big event which didn't air until midnight this side of the Atlantic, but I spent all morning catching up. From the limited research I've done thus far, it looks like the commercials were pretty bad and that Christina messed up the national anthem, I told you she was the new Lohan.
But for me, like a lot of Americans I know, it's not really about the game is it? It's the entire event. It's the fact that it is a total and complete representation of America and American culture. Everything is bigger, it's brighter, it's better. No other event in the world can even compare. And don't go all World Cup on me, that's a month long, global, and only happens every 4 years.
When I watched the game highlights, and by game I mean the half-time show and Christina's flub, I became incredibly proud of my country. I love that we aren't subtle, I love that we are loud, I love that everything is covered in glitter and that when we do something, we go all the way. No other nation in the world can throw a party like we can and for that, I'll always proudly rock my Red, White, and Blue.
Oh and I have to say, Eminem's Chrysler commercial brought a tear to my eye. Long live the motor city!!
Furthermore, people need to chill out about the Black Eyed Peas, I love them and I love Fergie. They put on a great show as far as I'm concerned and anyone who disagrees is just being a music snob. We should all just be happy that it wasn't Katy Perry or even worse... Lady Gaga.
So God Bless you America, I miss you, I miss your nachos, your chicken wings, your love for your soldiers, and your shitty, shitty Doritos commercials.

Oh and congrats Packers. It looks like you did a pretty good job too.
