Thanks, Dana. Mmm, Raylon.
I liked the little Darth Vader, of course.
They cut so much of it during the game! Due to the cost, I'm sure, but the whole thing is so much better.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Cleveland sucks!
Only if you ask nicely.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Age of the internet, maybe.
I mean, I didn't watch the game but I've watched that commercial many times.
I don't have to watch the game to watch "Superbowl commercials" now. Which I think has had an effect on the commercials. There's never ever going to be another 1984 Apple commercial. The world changed. Technology changed.

Really, not that Pepsi commercial? Evidently, men like to think about sex and women like to think about feelings! It's REVOLUTIONARY!

Oh, I agree. I just hadn't thought about how advertisers can actually pay for a shorter spot now, and know that a good longer version is going to get seen anyway. That must make the networks nervous.

Some really annoying commercial I keep seeing is talking about how you should be able to get the channels you want and not the ones you don't. Examples include no kids programming and no shopping channels cause you're a dude.
EFFFFFF UUUUUUUUU! I just want to be able to get Speed Channel. And now? I will not be giving you my monies. Because I have ovaries and want the sporty vroom shit but not your seriously offensiveness.
I want to watch vampires, race cars, science stuff, archeology and various Brit shows. Where is the package for me, man?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I want:
- Nature programs with actual informational content.
- Music channels that play actual music.
That's about it, really.

I just wish I could pay per channel. I'd honestly pay a lot for Speed Channel.
The fact that I can't watch Formula One anywhere or any way else keeps me stuck on cable. I'd happily pay $20 per F1 race.
Nature programs with actual informational content.
Those are the best!

We now have a channel, Nat Geo Wild, which does just this. (Our Animal Planet is still a step up from yours, insofar as yours is overrun with America's Funniest Pet Videos and we have at least opted to be overrun with Animal Cops: Detroit. Neither, however, holds a candle to Nat Geo Wild.) Nonetheless, at present I'm just as likely to take advantage of the strong Aussie dollar and buy an Attenborough from Amazon UK.
We also have seven Actual Music channels. There's also MTV, but that's all Real World and such like.

Which is why I am deeply relieved and happy right now, even though my team wasn't anywhere near the championship, because our arch-enemy was, and they lost. Ha!
Liese, sometime how similar we are scares me!
