I missed the commercials…
My experience yesterday at the Super Bowl taught me two things:
1. You don’t get to watch the commercials on the Jumbotron.
2. Saints fans are douchebags.
The first fact doesn’t worry me all that much. After all, that’s why Youtube exists. The second tidbit of knowledge, however, was a bit surprising. Given New Orleans’ reputation as a friendly, Southern city, all that its citizenry did at the game was demonstrate how loud, obnoxious, rude, and backward they were. Inane cheers of ‘Who Dat’ (NB: I still don’t know who dat is) were never-ending, and the only pleasant quiet came when we left the stadium with the dejected Colts fans.
I was really looking forward to visiting New Orleans at some time in the future, but if Mardi Gras is anything like the Super Bowl, the people of that city have convinced me that I’m alright with never visiting their swamp.
I also learned how much people truly hate the Patriots. We were nearly assaulted by irate Saints fans who began berating us for our choice of attire, and ended up in a 20 minute conversation with an utterly wasted fan who just signed up for another tour of duty with the Marines, and blames Obama for not winning the war. It was an interesting window on life in the South, a world that is remarkably different from New England. It was also a reminder of why I’m glad I live in the industrial North, and why the South is nice because it’s warm, but that’s about it.
Oh yeah, the game was awesome.

3 days and hundreds of dollars spent watching rich white men pit their Negro dogfighters against each other! Is it only Sanits fans that are douchebags?
