Smart Guy Predicts The Super Bowl

In 1997, 'Smart Guy' premiered on the 'WB' channel.... You may now know the channel as the 'CW' (commonly pronounced as 'QUA'). Anyway, the show was about a ten year old genius trying to survive in high school.... Well, who knew that the producers of 'Smart Guy' were able to predict the future?

In an episode of 'Smart Guy', the kids sneak into the television station to try to get their father's commercial for his roofing business to play during the prime time television hours. Little did they know that the commercial was going to play at halftime during the Super Bowl.... Ok, ok.... I'll get to the point.... Right before the commercial airs, the announcer reveals the halftime score of the Super Bowl:

New Orleans - 54
Indianapolis - 3

I wouldn't run to Vegas just yet.... The sports books have the Indianapolis Colts as six point favorites over the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV.... I don't see the Saints being up by 51 points at halftime....

Commercial Fit For The Super Bowl

Did anybody else see this commercial? I would have expected to see this commercial between quarters in the Super Bowl, not during the AFC Championship Game between the New York Jets and the Indianapolis Colts.... WalMart better bring during the Super Bowl....

One can really appreciate how WalMart was not only able to plug their status as the nation's low price leader, but also able to take a jab at people's inherent fear of clowns.... Well done WalMart. Well done....

According To NASA

Today is the 40th Anniversary of the launching of Apollo 11, and Monday, July 20th, is the 40th Anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin being the first humans to walk on the moon.

Well, NASA reported today, that after an exhaustive three-year search for some tapes that contained the original footage of the Apollo 11 moonwalk, they have concluded that the tapes were probably destroyed during a period when NASA was erasing old magnetic tapes and reusing them to record satellite data.

It's kind of like an horrible episode of "According to Jim". Or what they call in the entertainment world, an episode of "According To Jim".... Think about it.... If NASA was a bumbling husband who was simple and didn't know a mop from a spoon, the moonwalk tapes were the wedding videos, and the satellite data was the Super Bowl. Boom.... Horrible sitcom....

One Second Ad

Did you guys see the one second ad during the Super Bowl? There was apparently a huge amount of hype behind it....

Here are three videos, the first video shows the hype for the one second commercial, the second video shows the one second commercials that they decided not to use, and the third video shows the one second commercial that appeared during the Super Bowl.....Enjoy!
