I really had little interest in who won. The first half was good, the second half&#8230; well, Sexy Rexy and the Bears kinda collapsed on themselves.<\/p>\n<p>But of course&#8230; the ads.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s winner hands down had to be &#8220;Career Builder.&#8221; The monkeys never really worked for me and this years Corporate Grind meets Survivor was stunningly well done.<\/p>\n<p>2nd place goes to Budweiser (whose Bud Light feel-good ads got old) who may have been hit or miss but the King of the Crabs spot was wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>Points to Diamond foods for the most surreal moment with Robert Goulet.<\/p>\n<p>But a special nod to the challenging of middle America with two very non-standard sexual moments.<\/p>\n<p>I believe it was snickers that showed two men kissing. (right near the beginning) but the Bulls-eye had to be an incredibly tame and entertaining Prince mini concert right down to the shadow show of his AMAZINGLY phallic guitar.<\/p>\n<p>I just never noticed that in the old &#8220;Glyph&#8221; and boy did he show it on TV.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly&#8230; no news agency has commented on this.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; quiet Superbowl. Good, productive weekend. Long week ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully more soon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2087\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/04\/weekend-retreat-and-the-sexualization-of-the-superbowl\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2087\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/04\/weekend-retreat-and-the-sexualization-of-the-superbowl\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-2087\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/04\/weekend-retreat-and-the-sexualization-of-the-superbowl\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2007\/02\/04\/weekend-retreat-and-the-sexualization-of-the-superbowl\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not really going to go into the weekend concerning the Horizon Oasis officer&#8217;s retreat.
