Great review of the competing entertainment for N.Americans at "Superbowl" half time which, as far as I can make out, is a mix of 'Christmas', everyone else's birthday too, and a unique national je ne sait quoi like The Royal Variety Show if everyone was a pensioner.
It's funny that millions upon millions of people will be watching the halftime show, and there will be like a dozen divorced dudes with suspicious hard drives watching the parallel maga version where Kid Rock sings a duet with a hologram Epstein about how he thinks statutory rape is a fake idea
