The Super Bowl ads of 2010 seemed to have a strange common theme running through a few of them: the normal life (of a man) is boring. Thanks TV, for confirming my decision to not live the normal life. I only hope these commercials work to inspire men instead of depress them. Videos below:

Example 1: Super Bowl Dodge Charger Commercial
Moral: Being a man, you must do whatever your girlfriend/wife says (and these will all be things you won’t want to do)… except when it comes to the type of car you drive, which will make everything else bearable.

Don’t watch the trailer of James Cameron’s new film Avatar. Don’t listen to your friends when they try to explain the plot or why they loved (or hated) the movie. Just look at the poster here, develop your own ideas of what to expect, know that the movie runs 2 hours and 40 mins and go see it in IMAX 3D.

Most people, I take their opinions of movies with a grain a salt. There are few friends whose movie recommendations I hold in high regard. One friend, in particular, has high standards for a five star rating. In his Netflix account, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a movie he has rated over 3 stars (out of 5). So, when he mentioned to me that he saw Avatar a few days earlier, I was curious his opinion. Not having lived under a rock for the past 4 months, I had inevitably seen some of the reportedly $400 million worth of promotion posters and images.

Generally, I was interested in seeing the movie, but I hadn’t heard any reviews and had purposely refrained from watching the trailers as the clips often tell the entire story in the ridiculous hopes of convincing movie-goers that there is more to see. However, I knew that the movie had recently been released and I happen to be more of a $2-movie theater guy, preferring the 80% discount to being one of the first 10 million people to see a movie.

“Tell me it’s good,” I said, hoping he would confirm my gut feeling that this movie would be worth the hype.

“You should see it,” he replied.

“Is it worth the $10 ticket or should I wait for the $2 theater?”

“It’s worth $15.” Read the rest of this entry »

*Bring a gift if you want to play!

Wrap a gift worth $10 or LESS! You can buy something, or simply bring something from your house. It can be a good gift, a horrible gift, for a girl, a boy, funny, or whatever you want. Funny and ridiculous gifts make the game fun!

All the gifts are placed together on the floor (in “the gift pool”).

Each person playing gets a random number.

#1 chooses any gift, unwraps it, and shows it to everyone.

#2 chooses any new gift, OR can STEAL the gift from #1

If #2 STEALS the gift from #1, then #1 chooses a new gift from the gift pool.

#3 chooses a new gift, OR can STEAL the gift from #1, or #2!

If a gift is stolen from you, you can then STEAL a gift from one other person, but NOT the gift that was just stolen from you, OR you can choose a new gift.

This continues until all the gifts have been distributed to each person playing.

SPECIAL RULE: A gift can only be STOLEN 3 times, and then it cannot be stolen anymore!

While driving south on the PCH between Dana Point and San Clemente, we saw the above road sign not warning us about the construction ahead, but warning us of a “Zombie Attack”. Apparently “hacking road signs is frighteningly easy.”

More pics after the break.
