I Should've Been in Tuscon

NOTE: This is a family friendly blog. Therefore, I cannot post the link and/or video here. However, Joe (editor) insists on graphics with our posts, so here's a bunny with a pancake on its head:



Thanks to my BFF in Arizona for this tip!

If you watched the Super Bowl yesterday on Comcast Cable in Tuscon, Arizona, then you got a little, uh, present during the game. Right after the Cardinals took the lead in the fourth quarter, the Super Bowl was replaced by Super Penis!

(For the men reading the blog: this happened at 2nd and 10, 2:48 seconds left in the 4th quarter. The ball gets hiked to Warner, he drops back and connects with Fizgerald for the go ahead Touch Down pass. Then came Super Penis...)

Their customers got about 10 seconds of one of our best friends: porn. The porn clip showed a woman pulling some dude's penis out of his pants. The dude then got up and did the slappy dance with his penis.

And -- here's the best part -- this was all live!

Comcast says they are investigating why there was an interruption in the feed.

Dear Comcast: you see the dude in your office wearing Steelers crap from head to toe? Start with him.

You know that at that moment, parents in Tuscon threw a bowl of nachos over their children's eyes and dragged them out of the room. Later that night, they all had to have "the talk." And all because of the Super Bowl! On the bright side, it's never to early to learn the slappy dance!

I was complaining that the Super Bowl would be a whole lot more entertaining if the dudes were running around half naked (where I work, the men were sitting around watching the game as though The Lord Himself was delivering an address, with occasional burps, grunts, and farts to indicate that they, somehow, were still alive...).

The cable gods in Arizona heard my prayers and delivered. Sort of.

(The upshot: According to Comcast subscribers in Arizona, they were credited with one day's worth of free service for their troubles. One customer service representative remarked apologetically to a customer, "We have all hands on deck for this," to which a customer replied, "Yeah? Well, she had all hands on d**k for this!")

Jennifer Hudson's Back! God Bless Her!

In her first performance since her family murder tragedy, Jennifer Hudson sang the National Anthem at Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa. We really feel for this poor gal! She did amazing and everyone is talking about it! What a voice! What are your thoughts on her performance? (Watch a YouTube clip of her performance.) Can't get enough of her? Hudson also is slated to sing at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 8 in Los Angeles.

The Pittsburgh Steelers Are This Year's Super Bowl Champions!

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the champions of Super Bowl XLIII 27 to 23 against the Arizona Cardinals! This game was certianly a nail biter and came right down to the wire. The Steelers held the lead early on, but then lost the lead to Arizona in the in the 4th quarter. With only 35 seceonds left to play Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and reciever Santonio Holmes gained 78 yards and scored at 6-yard touchdown which regained the Steelers lead and earned Holmes the MVP award. This game was rough and tough football at it's very best, and if you have a chance check out some video of the winning TD, definitely miraculous. ALso, for more video highlights be sure to check out Steeler's linebacker James Harrison and his 100-yd interception return for a TD, truly amazing athleticism.

Now on to this year's Superbowl Ad's! I was not completely impressed this year, but a few did stand out such as Budwieser's "Horse Love", Dorito's "Snow Globe" and "Bus" and CareerBuilder's "Hate Work"! I was most excited to see previews for many of this year's upcoming movies such as G.I. Joe, Transformers 2, and Land of the Lost!

Since the Dorito's "Snow Globe" was my fav...I will include that one below....be sure to let us know what your favorite ad's were this year and how much you enjoyed the game!

Super Bowl Rings Stolen in Jewelry Heist

Thieves broke into a jewelry company in Attleboro, Mass. over the weekend and took up to $2 Million in valuables. Also taken were the Super Bowl rings made for the New York Giants staff members.

Apparently they disabled the alarm system at E.A. Dion Inc., come through the roof, and managed to steal a safe that weighed over 1,000 pounds.

On Sunday a Dion employee was frustrated when she was unable to access her work e-mail from home, came to the business and discovered the mess. Sources say they have no idea when over the weekend the heist took place. The players of the NY Giants fortunately have already received their rings, the stolen ones were to be given to the staff, and will be replaced soon.

The Super Bowl Was Super Watched

Due partially to the New York Giants impressive upset triumph over the New England Patriots, early findings have shown that the rating for this years Super Bowl have increased between 6 and 9 percent from last years game.

Although Nielsen does not have clear numbers on how many people actually watched the game, Nielsen Media Research has shown that the Fox Broadcast had a 44.7 rating and a 66. Last year’s Super Bowl, between the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears, had a viewership of 93.2 million.

This year’s game has a chance of becoming the most-watched Super Bowl ever, and the second most-watched broadcast. The current most-watched Super Bowl was the 1996 game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers seen by 94.1 million, and the most-watched broadcast was the series finale of M-A-S-H which pulled in 106 million viewers.

TiVo has reported that the commercial were watched more than the game, and the average price of an advertisement was $2.7 million for a 30 second segment. TiVo maintains that the most watched commercial during the game was the E-trade advertisement that featured a baby talking about stocks.

New York Giants win Super Bowl !

The underdog team has come up victorious in this years Super Bowl. The New York Giants triumphed over the favored New England Patriots in this years game. With only 35 seconds left in the game the Giants quarterback Eli Manning, whose older brother is Peyton Manning who led the Indianapolis Colts to win in last years Super Bowl, threw a 13 yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress as the clock was running out. This game was a major upset to the favored New England Patriots who were 18-0 going into the Super Bowl. This was a huge disappointment to the Patriots, who were looking to complete a perfect season. It was a close game, and definitely will be marked in NFL history. Congratulations to the New York Giants, this years well deserved champions!
