> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > BTW, I quite liked Madonna’s show. There, I said it. A medley of lip-synched moldy oldies…meh. Any local ads y’all like? The NBC affiliate did a funny promo for their evening newscast that was in the style of a Mexican telenovela. ---

As far as the halftime show goes… that was interesting. Seemed a little wink, wink from Madonna to me. Also, did anyone catch one of the girls with her flipping everyone off? I bet there’ll be plenty of discussion about that tomorrow. ETA: Ninja’d! ---

Half my “locals” are New York (WNBC “NBC America” cable feed), the other half are really lame regular PR-TV ads. Nothing impresses me so far. ---

Well, now I’m trying to remember what Top Gear said about the Fiat 500 Abarth. I don’t think they liked it, though it was 6 series ago. ---

So - Chevy Trucks - for guys who like Twinkies\* \*not that there’s anything wrong with that - but not one of them saved a female to rebuild the race with, but the one did save the dog, I guess that’s something.
