As you might expect, what with being a foreign commie and all that, snobbishly superior and European, the Super Bowl has no meaning in my world. I am, in fact, reclining gracefully upon my settee, eating lotus petals. Oh, the sadness, languor, ennui. It is profound.
While sneering in my usual fashion about beer-swilling Yanks.
Most of whom are middle-class men.
Sportsfans.
Howling sweaty jobbies fondly clutching their balls while mutant freaks pound each other into the astroturf down in Florida.
Which I did NOT express in any way on the internet, merely remarking that the game was on.

"To those who want to badmouth football or the Super Bowl, fine. Do so elsewhere. If you use broadcast TV you have at least 4 other choices. Cable? You have at least 80 or more. Streaming services? It'll take you the length of the game to make a choice. Live in a town with a library? Own a DVD player? How many TVs are in your house? Do I bitch and cajole when you watch those damn romances? (Oops, sorry. I have marriage PTSD.)"
My response: "The Piano is probably the best movie ever. Way better than Gone With The Wind."
I'm not really passionate about Foot Ball.
It's a very stupid game.
