There's a short little documentary on the Super Bowl Shuffle on MAX and it's fantastic.
The clip of the New England Patriots' sad response video is worth the price of admission alone.

So glad we let this loser dismantle our federal institutions and kill 600,000 people and counting. Otherwise, we might still be shackled by our need to write our own vulgar roasts of random people.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
