today's rant: ape-shit superbowl

if the superbowl has proven anything not related to sports, it is that people have way too much free time on their hands worrying about shit that has nothing to do with them, especially in the fifteen minutes before the coin was flipped.

before halftime, my wife called me and asked me what i thought about having the sandy hook elementary kids and jennifer hudson, all of whom knew someone shot to death, and the message it was sending.  i had to take a moment to catch my breath.  i asked her if she actually thought there was a liberal gun-control conspiracy during "america the beautiful."  OK, let's get one fucking thing straight, because everyone, EVERYONE, no, you don't understand, E!V!E!R!Y!O!N!E!, democrats & republicans, has been retarded for the past two months.  dems, it's not a gun control issue, it's a mental health issue.  reps, having the audacity to assume how MLK Jr. would side with you over the issue on his holiday is mind-fucking.  to my wife's defense, she was watching the superbowl with her family.  just to give you an idea about their political standpoint, i had to block everything they have rehashed after masturbating to fox news from appearing on my facebook newsfeed.  i had to block it, and I'M registered republican.  aside from that, they have enough issues to keep sigmund freud on retainer for quite a long time.  that, plus the friends that her family brought over, leads me to think that she didn't come up with it by herself.  she probably got it from someone at the superbowl party.

next, the national anthem.  i understood the chatter after x-tina aguilera fucked up the lyrics a few years ago, but the fact that i have to read that alicia keys is getting slack for singing a version that may have been pitchy at times but otherwise OK means that too many people have sticks shoved up their asses.  monday morning, i thought the major issue was gonna be the power going out 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter.  it is amazing what sets people off.
