Does Anyone Actually Watch The Game Anymore?

Super Bowl Sunday is nearly here. An American tradition that transfixes the nation every year. While there is a small minority like me who watch the game, it seems like everyone else wants to watch the commercials. Personally, I couldn’t care less about the commercials. I mute the TV whenever any commercial starts. I use commercial breaks for essential things, like planning world domination through Kindness.

I remember back in the day when Hal and I would go to Super Bowl parties. Most of the crowd gathered around the snack table or in the kitchen, only stampeding back when the commercials came on. I was the opposite. 

I readily admit that I despise what I consider “canned culture,” which means infoporn that is only produced to keep people talking about meaningless bullshit. A little spontaneous entertainment is ok, but the manufactured Soylent Green infoporn is not attractive to me at all. 

Super Bowl commercials are even more annoying because they are longer. If the geniuses behind those commercials would make watchable TV programs, that would be a more socially productive use of their time. I don’t care about celebrities appearing in commercials, which brings me to my next point. 

Taylor Swift is a global superstar, and there’s no doubt about it. She’s extremely talented and is not part of a DoD psyop program designed to keep Biden in office. Taylor is smart enough to know a Nazi when she sees one and prefers the senile old man to the senile old man who thinks he is Hitler 2.0 or the second coming of some imaginary sky-being. That proves Taylor has more than just a reptilian brain stem, unlike the red hats out there. Taylor is also beautiful. She can afford to be. 

But for all those positive things, her relationship with Travis Kelce deserves no more than a passing mention, especially during the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, we will suffer through more of the infoporn bullshit about the couple, and that is NOT even remotely part of the football game. 

I won’t get my wish. I accept that. All I can say is GO NINERS!!
