Was that pun necessary???

The pun was necessary.

I used to love watching the Superbowl.  That incident along w/ some singer wearing a wavy shirt of the US Flag?  Was either necessay?

As far as the groundhog & the six weeks of winter?

I am so happy I moved back to San Antonio, Texas where we don’t have that.

You at least have the beautiful four seasons & that is worth it!

I concur, Janelle.  If you can handle the hot summers, mid to southern Texas is a very nice place to live.  You can participate in outdoor activities all year round.

I just thought it was cool that I learned something today: Groundhogs are sometimes called “Whistle Pigs”.

Using the flag as a garment: seriously uncool.

Showing your goods with 44% of the nation watching: cheap attention tactic.

A nation paying more attention to a mildly offensive halftime show than to a Super Bowl that was won by a fieldgoal with 4 seconds to go: priceless… and kinda sad.

Actually, we had a large SuperBowl bash at church and we made a conscious decision to have all the TVs turned off during halftime. (We also kept an eye out for inappropriate commecials.)

There were a few complaints, mostly from teens, but most people just talked and ate.

Hindsight makes this decision look good, brilliant even.

You couldn’t pay me enough money to administer a non-church related event taking place at a church.  Especially an event with teens/kids present.  I just envision myself standing in the middle of the room with one hand on the mute button, one hand on the channel change button, and a third (imaginary) hand wiping the sweat from my brow.  Kudos for pulling that off without incident.  And double kudos for practicing the only truly American form of censorship: self censorship.  Save yourself the 37 cents you’d spend writing a complaint letter to CBS and just turn it off.  In fact… you’d probably do well to keep CBS off until the next time they host the Super Bowl.  I have horrible visions of “CSI: Survivor All Stars” or “Cold Case: Nobody Loves Raymond.”
