They are almost always terrible live, good mix or not, whether you are a fan of their music or not.

I don't know that I've ever seen a band/group carry so little of what makes their music popular to the stage. They come out and look and sound like they just woke up almost every time. Which is impressive considering most of the music is just on playback. They do try and sing live though, so I guess you have to give them credit for that...

Enjoyed the VW ads, and one of those Doritos ads was a little weird.

Adultized Baby Commercials - This 'Uncensored E-Trade' 2011 Superbowl Compilation is Intriguing (VIDEO)

Let's see.....
After the National anthem butcher by C. Aguilera, the mediocre (at best) halftime show, which included a political message and a stage light malfuction (the song lyrics were changed to give an Obama shout-out and half of the letter "V" in LOVE didn't work.) it was slightly better than watching Animal Planet's "Puppy Bowl and Kitty Half-Time Show".
Most of the commercials were lame, with only a few decent ones.
Those idiotic 'Go-Daddy" ones are a real waste of time and money.
The best was the "VW: Darth Vadar" one

As for the game, it's always encouraging to see such a fine example of a human being literally "throw" he game away.
How many times did Pittsburgh turn the ball over compared to Green Bay? How many calls did the officials get wrong this time?

Oh, and how many fans got screwed by the NFL and the Dallas stadium seating geniuses? $900.00 for a seat to nowhere? I don't think so, anbd I don't think Dallas will be hosting the game for quite a while because of the piss-poor job they did with the whole show.

Maybe the snow on the roof indicent should have been a warning!
