Iowahawk has a
great take on Clint Eastwood's Halftime in America commercial that was shown right before Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show. Here are some choice excerpts:
Both teams are in their locker rooms discussing what they can do to win
this game in the second half. Diagramming plays. Texting their agents
and German supermodel wives. Reviewing Belichick's aerial spy photos.

Sure, I’ve seen a lot of tough eras, a lot of downturns in my life. I
was in 'Every Which Way But Loose,' for crissakes. There were times when
we didn’t understand each other, because you complained that I sounded
like an emphezema victim who gargled with Grape Nuts. The fog of
division, discord, and blame made it hard to see what lies ahead, no
matter how hard I squinted.

Yeah, it’s halftime America. But we're only down 15.4 trillion to 0. Now let's get back out there and cover the Vegas spread.
And, speaking of hideous rusted clunkers from Detroit, please enjoy Madonna's halftime show.
I like the reference to Madonna. A female rapper gives the camera the finger combined with a few selected words and "World Peace" appears in lights. I would have preferred the Muppets or Bozo the Clown to Madonna.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think Madonna lipped synced the whole halftime concert.
