Superbowl Sunday and the value of entertainment

disclaimer: even though I did not want to see the Steeler's snag another Superbowl win, I do respect and honor their 2 pt conversion in a 100% effort to take the game. Bravo!

Not the best Superbowl... I have heard.

The Halftime show has taken numerous jabs, but the reality is, whether a devout football fan or not, the Superbowl offers an excuse to party. An opportunity to gather with friends, eat chips and hot wings and drink - American style. The seriousness that we have all deemed ourselves so worthy of critiquing everything around us is outlandish.
The Superbowl, the commercials, the bands, the hype, the cheerleaders, etc etc etc are all for the entertainment of the Americans who invest in and appreciate being catered to.

The Peas were a perfect match for Superbowl XLV

It's easy to sit at home and criticize professional athletes, professional artists, investors, anyone else who has actually invested in this day. Billions of dollars are spent so we can sit around with friends and be entertained, so what happened to entertainment for the sake of entertainment? Dancing because it feels good? Appreciating those who are willing to shake it and try to entertain those who can't?
Yesterday was better than watching an MTV reality show any day of the week and two thumbs up for putting on a great show.
