Just in case people need a place to critique the ads, okay?
A novel idea. How about just air the commercials on one channel and the actual sport on another? I will be one of like three people watching the game, and I am fine with that.

Both teams mascots suck. The “Chiefs” are nothing but moronic mockery of Native Americans no better than that of the Washington DC team.

Yeah, I thought it was kind of lame. James Gunn wrote the script for that movie and has since apologized for it. Scrappy is a little annoying but he doesn’t deserve to be left for dead in the middle of the desert (a scene in the movie) by the gang, which was way OOC

Well, I tracked down the Google ad. I didn’t find it creepy; I think some may be overreacting. It reminded me of the beginning of “Up.”

@opiejeanne: I was thinking more like, “What, women can’t go into space without face cream?”

@opiejeanne:
Fun fact: You know incels? Femcels exist too and are just as toxic as their male counterparts, talking about Chads and Stacys. They have a very shallow worldview about relationships work (men only care about looks, etc)

Brother, wanna thank your mother for a butt like that (thanks, Mom)
Can I get some fries with that shake-shake booty
opiejeanne
@different-church-lady: Yeah, me too. I think I need something like that stuff to get this blood glucose thingie off of my arm. They use some mighty adhesive to make it stick for two weeks. Face cream or baby oil would help get it off

@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): That wasn’t her point. She said women needed to work harder if they want to get ahead and feminists just want more women in charge or something. It was nearly incoherent. She told a guy who argued that he needs to take a blue pill.

@different-church-lady:
A friend who works at Google (quite smart software engineer) told me a couple of years ago that his job was basically to make sure that google never forgets things.
He is probably now spinning up entertaining cover stories to respond to questions about that ad…. :-)

@different-church-lady: Haha! Been there, done that. I had my appendix out three years ago, came home the next morning. Found two of them, one each night after I was allowed to take a bath. I thought the nurses got them all, but nope.

then they came north for the Fraser River Gold Rush. Two waves of robbery, ( the Salishan people already had gold panning, claims and trade with the Hudsons Bay Company) and genocide. One south from the Coast, one east to Merritt then west to the gold fields, when Britain shut down the Coast. Two or so million murdered, and open war which the British supressed news and the history of, for fears of losing British Columbia to the US.

The weirdest thing about this Super Bowl was that Google wasn’t the only commercial about people way older than 70-year old me. I didn’t think that was Madison Ave.’s prime demo.

@opiejeanne:
Leaving those things on too long is not fun at all.
When I got my first ambulance ride in August the paramedics put on the max number of pads, I think they call them 10 lead EKGs, got to the hospital and they used different pads. So I had on 2 complete sets of pads. No one took any of them off. And by the time I got home the hospital pads wanted to take skin with them. It was a good day. Of course I was in the VA hospital a day later and they had to put on another complete set that no one took off. The next day I had to go through the same process – again. Three full sets of patches in 3 days. Try that with hair. Which is growing back. Fun times. BTW the heart was fine.
