USA!

We might not have won, but it was a hell of a game to watch.

Pass the Popcorn: The Invention of Lying

Ricky Gervais is funny. The Invention of Lying wasn't. Okay, fine. It had several funny moments but by the time the third act started, I checked out. Too much nonsensical babble and not enough emotional weight.

I will say this though, Gervais had one really good scene where he showed some actual depth. I liked that.

They put those science store souvenirs to shame.

Home Shopping Porn: The Shake Weight

This thing is ridiculous. But you can't ignore the smiles on all those women's faces as they "get in shape." The best part is that it's designed to be a 6-minute workout. Really! Maybe five and a half.

The Who = Who Cares!

A. I didn't realize that The Who monopolized every single CSI intro song. Crazy.
B. If the coolest part of the Super Bowl Halftime Show is the stage, something was obviously missing.
C. The NFL needs to quit going older for this gig. Nipple gate was like seven years ago. Make the singers sign a "I won't f**k with the FCC" contract and put some life back into this once exciting event.

Compassion for those around you meets cruelty in pursuit of self preservation

"PORT-AU-PRINCE (AFP) – The death toll in the Haiti quake has topped 200,000, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said Wednesday as angry protests over the slow arrival of aid flared on the rubble-strewn streets."

I don't want to sound like I don't care. I'm just dismayed at how disasters bring out the best and worst of people.

I get it. Haiti has suffered a tragedy on a planetary scale. However, many countries are doing a great deal to help them as much as they can. It was a fractured region before the disaster, which doesn't make coming to the rescue any easier. The U.S. alone has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the relief effort, yet, all we hear about is how pissed off everyone is regarding the efforts.

You can only bring in so much aid when people are mobbing the streets in anger. They can be mad at their own government but blaming all of the other countries that are trying to help is ridiculous.

As a civil person, I think we should help those around us as much as we can. But it's not a governmental obligation. Don't loot everyone around you. Don't set fire to the streets. And don't get pissed off at the people who are trying to help.

I would never wish a disaster upon any nation, but I can't stand the mob mentality that takes over once one happens. It creates a collision between humanities best and worst attributes - Compassion for those around you and cruelty in pursuit of self preservation.
