So since the NFL seized the term "Super Bowl" - (gee, can I use it here?) all the ads for food, etc.

say "Blah blah blah for the BIG GAME on Sunday!" since they are not permitted to use the term "Super Bowl".

Augggh! I did it again...probably 7 years in Lockup....(on MSNBC!)

Wotta country: I think I'm gonna get a license for Memorial and Labor Days and none of the stores will be able to use the term to sell mattresses or whatever they sell on those days...or was that Presidents' Day? Gotta grab that one too...and may be also Independence Day, but I think the movie producers and Will Smith own that one. Shit...they're way ahead of me by now.

Meanwhile, one of the radio stations here in Philly have promoted a big Soup Bowl Party, where the restaurants are bringing bowls of soup or something.

Funny, in a way...

I think the stars should have to wear endorsement logos like they do in NASCAR. Same with all sports.

just to hold their logo sponsors per person. We should have logos on everything by now, what has Mass Consumerism come to? I want a endorsement logo to put on my toilet...you think Charmin would send me free TP?

CNN, ESPN, Food Network, local TV and radio and so on. And also in print more times than I can count.

Not sure where you're getting your news but perhaps a change is in order.
