Saving time

Current Mood: Cool

Dear Super Bowl,

I refuse to be sucked in this year. I know you think everyone is watching you to see big men in tights beat up on each other for an oval ball, but we’re not. I hate to break it to you, but the only reason MILLIONS of Americans tune in is because of the commercials. (or the excuse to eat obscene amounts of food). Unfortunately for you, your commercials have SUCKED the last 10 years and I don’t think anything will change this year! The only commercial that sticks out to me is the cat herding one and I can’t even remember what it was advertising! I don’t get why should I watch several hours of grunting, sweaty men pummel each other just to see one (maybe) funny commercial. Well, I won’t do it this year. I’m going to be like Pepsi this year and not participate. Why? Because of my new friend, Social Media.

This year I’m choosing to do what I want on Super Bowl Sunday. And here’s the kicker (get it? Kicker?). I’ll STILL see the commercial everyone is talking about. How? Twitter and Facebook. That’s right Super Bowl, your irrelevant in my world! I’ll look at Twitter, see what is trending in those handy trending topics and be able to find that one hilarious gem of a commercial. Same goes for Facebook! While I’m relaxing and doing what I want, my friends will update me on the funniest commercials via Facebook. Social media will separate the wheat from the chaff for me! How awesome is that!

Clearly, social media has more to offer me than you. Not only will it save me from wanting to gouge my eyes out watching your incessant game, but it will also save me time… time not wasted on you. So take that Super Bowl! Go have your fun. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a Pepsi and good book waiting for me.

Sincerely,

Sasha
