"OMG! He's Got A Gun!" The UMass Post-Super Bowl Riot, As Commentated By Two Very Sheltered Young Ladies
We're not sure what's the best part of this video: the UMass students rioting because the Patriots lost, or the two women commentating on the action. (That they couldn't figure out how to shut the camera off should tell you all you need to know about them.) We're told this is actually the second r...
Here's The Will Ferrell Old Milwaukee Super Bowl Ad That Only Aired In North Platte, Nebraska
Will Ferrell's previously done Old Milwaukee ads local to the Davenport and Terre Haute markets, and tonight he apparently extended that to North Platte, Nebraska.

If You Missed The Puppy Bowl (Or Want To Relive It) Here's Your Highlight Reel
Here's Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl (which mostly sucked this year, thanks to a Disney tie-in and no beagles) compressed to about a minute. No, there aren't any halftime show highlights featuring kittens. The real Super Bowl halftime will feature plenty of that. [Video from Animal Planet. Music is ...
What The Hell Is Cee-Lo Wearing?
No, the Super Bowl isn't an occasion for formal dress. But Sean and I have debated whether these Adidas slip-ons are shower shoes or something more officially sandal-like.
