So it's Super Bowl Sunday - that day when the blood-fest that is American football is on full capitalist display.
With the players sure to suffer injures that will plague their later years and white-riots in the streets for the fans, this excuse to make money off of brutality is... to put it mildly, not my cup of tea.
And let's not dwell to much on the homo-erotic nature of beefy, sweaty men jumping on top of each other, ripping their shirts off, tackling each other and reaching between their legs to grab the ball. All on national television! Yeah guys, get a room.
Let's add a little jingoistic 'Rah rah USA! USA!' with some Confederate subtext and it seems like a good day to watch *anything* else.
