    Superbowl tonight - anyone watching?

    Personally I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon. Surely the worldst dullest and dumbest sporting spectacle. 10 minutes of action spread over a four hour ad break.

    No thanks.

      No it's on too late. If it was earlier I might stick it on in the background.

            I agree, and it can be fascinating. But it is a bit boring for those people who aren't into it and don't appreciate what's going on. You know, normal people.

              I can see the potential attraction, but it is horrendously frustrating every time I watch it.

                I'm going to give it a shot, never tried it before. From what I hear it's a bit like cricket - short periods of action between long periods of talking and plenty of breaks, over several hours.

                What do the BBC show during the 400 advert breaks in the US?

                    Kind of a shame we don't get to see the US adverts. Not into, and never have been into adverts generally, but the adverts during the superbowl are a bit special - kind of the main event of the year in advertising terms and all the big guns roll out tere best stuff for them.
