WTF? Not only do I have to watch that retarded dancing robot, and listen to inane plot lines written about the players, now I have to suffer fucking politics during a ball game.

Fuck Rupert Murdoch for ripping out what enjoyment was left in professional football and replacing it with bullshit like this. I hope Shepard Smith gets hit by a bus filled with wetbacks.

That is so fucking fucked up fucktarded it's unfucking real. What sort of pile of elephant sanatorum comes up with is shit! You know, the super bowl is supposed to be a break from politics! Hell it might be the one thing a civil number of Americans agree on, they like to watch football.

Oh well, I wasn't going to watch with the sound on anyway.

As someone who can't vote in this country and wasn't planning on watching the Superbowl anyway, I think this is a great idea.

Oh, yeah the ads were all over TV during the game last Saturday. I guess I must have actually blocked out the horror; the commercial made it look like they would be going back and forth to all the Fox News "personalities" for their choice ideas on the thrilling lineup of GOP candidates America won't be able to wait to vote for.

I would rather hear the American Gladiators and/or professional wresslers give their politcal opinions over the Fox News "personalities"

Sigh. As if being a Bengals fan weren't already embarrassing enough this year.

This is on Fox NEWS, right? Not actually on Fox, where the game will be airing.

I used to like FOX sports' football coverage more than the alternatives, but it is slipping more and more.

Olberman on NBC's broadcasts is brilliant, but the average sports announcer is terrible at politics, and FOX news "personalities" are terrible at everything they do.

I'm watching Public Access's counter-programming during Super Bowl half time.

It's Rick White and Marcus Pollard playing ping pong to a room full of crickets.

@14 - This is on Fox where the game will be airing. That's what makes it so superfuckingretarded.

Why doesn't the local Fox affiliate broadcast in HD?

(At least it doesn't come across that way on Dish Network.)

@20 - they do, just run an aerial and you can pick it up with an antenna with better reception, plus then you can read the subliminal messages to vote GOP if you record it on a DVR ...

The eight US senators and three of the four governors (Arnold's the other) who represent the states in which the Chargers, Packers, Giants and Patroits reside are all DEMOCRATS! So suck it, FOX.

Whatever. Me and the guys are probably going to switch to the Wii during halftime for some drunken remote-bowling.

Hopefully, they will be airing the puppy bowl again.

I love puppy bowl!

Now, if we could get a Wii version of that, where we can use soft nerf balls and toss them to the kittens and puppies, that would be ace!

Yet another reason not to watch the Snoozer Bowl.
