Super-mega-hyped-up-bowl

The annoying, commercial use of the Superbowl to increase a business’ bottom line while we increase our waist line was definitely evident the week leading up to the event.

I still thought it was fun to see the community show its support for a straw man sports team.

The Superbowl proves that people are looking for things to celebrate in their mundane lives. They are looking for reasons to come together, sit in front of a television for three hours and guzzle beer. Of course, there are those who just like football too.

Its fun to be part of a mob mentality- to have something in common with almost everyone else on the west side of the state. It’s fun to share in the enthusiasm and watch an entire society be swept away in a wave of excitement and pride.

Its fun to be a part of the hype, even if your team loses *cough* stupid zebras *end-cough*. Who would trust anyone wearing a stripped black and white shirt anyway- isn’t that the wardrobe of an inmate?
