"Is it done yet?"
Oh my goodness! When all the anticipation of Superbowl Sunday finally came rolling around, those were the famous words of Korea. The country did good...stuck it out till the end of the first quarter before something else caught her attention. America thinks it was because of the whoop-la over the commercials more than anything. Then the next day in school, Korea found out that all the best commercials deserved class time. What school does that???
After the first quarter, Korea would go back to her little camp and then come up every half hour or so to check on America and the happenings up in the living room. She would poke her head up and say those four magic words (even though America said that the broadcast lasted until 10pm. "No, not done yet. But you missed a good commercial!"
"is the football game still on?"
"Yep. Couple hours yet."
"Is it...?"
"Nope."
"..."
Anyway, the day after the Superbowl Korea came home and laughed with America (and honorary Spain) about the best ones, a few were mentioned (America's personal fav's: m&m and the VW/Starwars Sequel; honorable mentions are the Betty White commercial; most noble being the halftime in America) and thoroughly enjoyed by all three countries.
America fizzled out too after a while. The country lasted until the middle of the third quarter before the commercials seemed to no longer be up to par for the Superbowl. But really $3.5 million dollars for a 30 second spot and they fizzle out in the third quarter...that's a lot of money to spend outside the making of it and to not be putting your best foot forward!
Today, America is thankful for IOC for promoting international and friendly competition.
Wait, you didn't watch the 4th quarter. That's when all the exciting plays happened. We were all complaining about how boring the game was until the last five minutes and then, wow! So many game changers in so little time.
