If you are a New York Giants fan then no doubt you are quite happy after watching your team beat one of the most heavily favored teams in Super Bowl history. Of course you are now in the same boat that the rest of the NFL fans have been in for some time -- what to do on Sundays? From the second weekend in September until the first weekend in February Pro Football gives avid football fans such as Dauber's World a sanctuary every Sunday morning (afternoon if you're an East Coaster). Super Bowl Sunday has always been a bitter sweet day for Dauber's World. It's the crown jewel in the football season. It has all the best TV ads and usually has some decent football teams playing as well. Unfortunately it's also the last football game for almost seven months. Sure there's the NFL Draft as well as unrestricted free agency. There's also the pre-season, but pretty much this is it for a while. No longer can you rely on football to keep your Sundays busy. You may be forced to do something outdoors, or potentially even more horrifying you may have to interact with other human beings (and if you do interact with them you can't talk about football -- nothing has happened!). Good thing Dauber's World lives in sunny, beautiful California where there are things to do outdoors. Are you listening weather? Dauber's World said, "Sunny AND beautiful." This rain thing is getting really old. If people wanted that they wouldn't live here!
Side note on the Super Bowl. Dauber's World doesn't like to be too main stream, but there are a few comments that must be made with respect to the ads this season. Specifically the ads for Sales Genie. Dauber's World saw two ads from these guys that were unbelievable (you can see every ad from the Super Bowl here). They're both cartoons in which a person starts out as a poor sales person prior to using Sales Genie and getting much better. What was remarkable was the depiction of the sales people. The first is an Indian (with a stereotypical accent) and the other was someone who was Chinese (again with the stereotypical accent). Dauber's World is not one who is often offended, but the generic accents seemed borderline offensive here. They added nothing to the ads and seemed to mock the individuals as much as anything else. What's more they were totally unnecessary and just detracted from Sales Genie's overall message (that inexplicably they can help your sales regardless of industry). The only time Dauber's World can remember accents being more unnecessarily offensive was the Star Wars prequels with the trade union aliens who spoke with an Asian (either Chinese or Japanese) accent for absolutely no reason.
