the day after

It's the day after the Super Bowl and I finally live in a state that has a Super Bowl champion! Sorry, but I used to live in Detroit. I was born in Cleveland. This is pretty remarkable for me.

But who cares about football? This year, as with every year, it's about the Super Bowl ads. So far though, it sounds like they were pretty unforgettable and I tend to agree. For me, the best were the Career Builder ads featuring offices in the middle of the jungle and the in-house CBS ad for Letterman's show featuring Oprah Winfrey.

Check out the MSNBC Interactive Super Bowl ad showdown to pick your favorites and weed out the duds. [Thanks for the link, Jenny.]

Ok, I'm totally going to be a bandwagon fan and root for the Colts this weekend because this is the first time I've ever lived this close to a team going to the Super Bowl. I mean, I'm from Detroit. What do you want from me?

Despite that, I'm sure no one can forget the Chicago Bears' Super Bowl win in 1986. They totally trounced the New England Patriots [yes, things have changed in the past twenty years]. The team also had some great players including William "The Refridgerator" Perry, the legendary Walter Payton, and Jim McMahon, who always wore sunglasses because his eyes were sensitive to light after a freak accident as a kid when his brother poked his eye with a fork.

So with that, I give you the always entertaining Super Bowl Shuffle.

wikit: prince

In honor of this weekend's Super Bowl, I give you a wikit for Prince, who will be playing the halftime show for the big game. By the way, the above picture is from Prince's rehearsal for the show. No, I don't know if he actually wears bright orange suits everyday or just for special occasions like Super Bowl rehearsals. I have to say though, I kind of like that chick's dress-- you know, if it was a little shorter to cover my ass.

Not little known facts about Prince: He's from Minnesota and he likes purple.

Little known fact: He once stood behind my friend Stacy's dad at the check out line at the local grocery story in Minneapolis.

Little known fact: A song by Prince made Tipper Gore start the Parents Music Resource Center, which is responsible for those Parental Advisory labels on albums. Tipper heard her 12-year-old daughter playing "Darling Nikki," a song from the Purple Rain soundtrack about a sex fiend. Well yeah, that may not be the best for a 12-year-old to be listening to. That being said, Prince ended up winning an Oscar for his work on the soundtrack.

Little known fact: The whole symbol thing wasn't to be weird and artistic or something. It was rebel against his record label at the time, whom he felt were treating him unfairly. I don't know why you need a symbol for that, but there you go.

And so I give you my favorite Prince song, which he may or may not be performing on Sunday. Let's hope he at least doesn't have some sort of wardrobe malfunction.

So I have to give a shout out to Pop Sugar for posting Kevin Federline's Super Bowl ad on YouTube. Yes, it's as bad as you think it is but at least it will amuse you. Nationwide was very smart to pay him to do this, although I don't know if I want Nationwide on my side if they have K-Fed working for them.
