The "I'm not watching the Super Bowl" thread

[ixion]

So what are you doing in lieu of that mindless cultural phenomena?

Me? I'm watching a movie.

Just thought with all the SB threads, we should have one for those of us who couldn't care less about it. ;-)

1. A bunch of guys running around and groping each other

I'd rather watch a faucet drip.

[Bronco69]

7. LOL!

Can you believe those guys are grabbing each others asses and fighting over jewelry (the super bowl ring) and they have the nerve to dis ME for being gay!!! :-)

[AlFrankenFan]

2. Yay! I'm not the only one!

I refuse to watch it. I'm switching off between playing with my puppy and surfing the Internet and talking on AIM.

[Cannikin]

3. I hate football.

[mlawson]

4. I live two hours from Charlotte, and I am not looking at it.

I dont have a TV here in my office, but I still wouldn't, if I did.

Why should I care whether one group of obscenely OVERpaid corporate employees beats another??? How does it affect my life???

[Nay]

5. I've never been interested in sports, so missing the Super Bowl

doesn't bother me. I wouldn't even know it was on except for all the hype, and the idiots who can hardly wait to see the "cool new ads" aired. :eyes:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

6. I'm watching Harry Potter, the first and the second...

I'm boycotting, sort of. I usually watch for the commercials...but not today. I hate CBS for what they've done to Free Speech. Dammit that three of my shows are on that network...but at least I don't have a Neilson's TV thingy.

8. Superbowl?

What's that? some kinda football or hockey game or something?

[ret5hd]

9. we're a "nielson family" and we refused to watch it. (nt)

[Terwilliger]

10. I watched the MoveOn ad

I dont care about the rest of the game

[dweller]

11. Surfing DU

and listening to Backporch music, another amazingly simple Sunday nite for me.

99% of sports are over-hyped media displays to demean one human's abilities against another. Show me a human that can leap proportionately the height of a flea's jump, lift the proportionate weight of an ant's strength, or fly on it's own power as a bird, swim faster against a fish, out-race a cheetah or a horse for that matter.

No wonder the human race is determined to destroy Nature. Poor losers, indeed.

[Mz Pip]

:dem:

[Lorien]

25. Me too

I've never seen it before (no cable). man, I know a LOT of men I could introduce the Fab Five to!

[ikojo]

16. I am on DU and listening to NPR

I am listening to Living On Earth. They are talking about Mad Cow Disease and factory farms.

[fujiyama]

17. I'm right here with you all!

I guess not watching the Superbowl makes me an unpatriotic Anti American :7

I don't mind sports but I never got into football...Hockey and basketball I might watch...

[Terran]

18. Super Bowl? What's a "Super Bowl"?

As Marilyn Manson once said to an MTV interviewer, "Don't talk to me about sports."

Fortunately, I am at work and nowhere near a TV where I can even accidentally stumble over that crap.

[KeepItReal]

19. Checkin out DU and listening to Enya CD

...good music to study/work to.

Need to find out how that Enya CD works on tha ladies...

:evilgrin:

[NightTrain]

20. I went out and hit a few music stores...

...figuring that with the mindless masses glued to the Stupid Bowl, I'd pretty much have those places to myself. And you know what? I was right!

Not only that, but I managed to grab a very nice 2-CD collection of previously unreleased Motown recordings for just $19.99! :bounce:

21. We just got home from supper.

Now my husband is playing with the ferrets and watching some anime, and I'm here in the Lounge.

[tnlefty]

22. I checked into DU to check out the news while cleaning up after dinner

My middle child turned 11 today and we had the dinner/cake thing and I'm getting ready to call it a day and go to bed.

[Hippo_Tron]

23. Watching but not paying attention...

Much more focused on DU, have it on in the background because the sounds produced at football games are somewhat soothing to my ears.

[Lizz612]

24. Nice long shower

Everyone else in the dorm is watching had the bathroom to myself, so I say Bob Dylan songs (badly). Now I'm reading DU and brushing my hair dry and listening to the Ramones (again).
