"Release the flying monkeys..."

The Super bowl was on last night, but I'm still at loss as to what the big deal is. I can understand that the Yanks take it the way the rest of the world takes the World cup final but I really don't understand. If its football why do you spend most of the game running with the dammn ball? Soccer is the real football! I guess its one of those American things I'll never understand like Elvis. And when on earth are you guys going to embrace 'soccer' like the rest of the planet?
Hellophotokitty: I HAVE actually seen that 'South Park' episode you are referring to and it was shocking. I had been drinking though so the shock was somewhat blunted by the fact that I was struggling to understand what was going on. Then again with 'South Park' a plot is not exactly a necessity.
And I think I'm never really going to understand the English. While the rest of the earth is debating things like terrorism, and global warming the two biggest issues over here are fox-hunting and twenty-four hour drinking. The government wants to ban fox-hunting but there is a big and very vocal group out there saying 'hell no- its our right to ride out into the countryside with our hounds and kill us some foxes! YEAAH!' My humble proposition is that Tony Blair and the head of the pro-hunting lobby should fight it out with lightsabres. How else are we going to solve this crisis? Why on earth should the rest of us give a flying fuck about such a stupid cause as the right to hunt and kill foxes with some bad-ass dogs? Wake me up when that bore-a-thon is over!
As for twenty-four hour drinking- Suprisingly some people think there might be something wrong with this idea but these are probably descendants of the people who laughed when some guy in a cave said rubbing two sticks together was doing him a lot of good and everyone else should try it. Understand that bars in this country close at eleven which puts us about on par with Saudi Arabia with regard to the hassle we appear to be giving to the humble individual who only wants a bloody drink and the right to go home when he dammn well pleases. If the self-appointed guardans of the country's morals (i.e 'The Daily Mail') are to be believed, then this country will suddenly disintegrate and chaos will reign simply because Bars will now be able to set their own closing times. Yeah, yeah of course- and I'm a pop idol winner. It's not like the bars are actually going to be open for twenty-four hours anyway- most bars will extend their closing times to around 2 or 3 am which is just about fair. And no, there will be no civil war as a result.
