- Ahh, the Superbowl. The one time of year when Domino's
Pizza and Pizza Hut expect a guaranteed 30-50% increase in sales - the
busiest time of the year. Let me make a prediction as I gaze into my Crystal
Ball. I see millions of pizzas sold. Sausage. Extra cheese please. And
oh, a generous helping of prions would be lovely too. Perhaps it is a good
time to invest in Pizza chains.
-
- In the era of GM foods, animal die-offs, unhealthy diets,
unjustified slaughters of helpless third world nations, food preservatives,
aspartame, misfolding proteins, Monsanto atrocities, crooked Dyncorp/Bechtel/Haliburton/Carlyle/Wackenhut
deals, and corporate sponsored brainwashing over the TV death-tube, millions
of adrenalized, hyper-hormonized tribal savages once known as Americans
will be undeterred by what's going on as they cheer on and satisfy their
hunger for blood much like the Romans did. Let's take a look at one such
individual - Fred.
-
- A nice guy for the most part, Fred believes he is a true
patriot. He laughs heartily at Saddam and Osama jokes - right on cue. He
is an active member of TIPS - the American Stasi spy network. He does what
he is told and dares ask no questions. Fred has been dumbed down and is
indifferent towards issues that matter most. Who cares about them damned
Iraqis. He is even unaware that shortly, his comfy position in a trading
firm will be outsourced to India and China. He is part of the soon-to-be
extinct middle class of America.
-
- Fred, like the glued-to-tv population addicted to junk
pop and sports culture, will ingest as much physical and mental toxins
his body can handle; thanks to the billions in advertising dollars that
flood, propagandize, and corrode the mainstream consciousness. You see,
Fred has lost the ability to think for himself.
-
- "Betcha they'll unveil the brand new 48-cylinder
Hummer 3, mileage 6.2 mpg" Fred exclaims! He salivates at the sight
of the chromed beast as it appears on the death tube. Fred's not concerned
about the oil supply, there's an endless supply of it. That's what HE was
told.
-
- WE all know the elite ec-terrorists will just drill for
oil in the pristine Alaskan lands, the largest remaining wilderness in
the nation (9 million acres + I believe) so savages like Fred can romp
like high school cowboys in their steel horses for 6 months before that
supply runs out.)
-
- Backround noise from Fred : "Honey, more burgers
and hotdogs please. The 2nd half's about to begin!!! Don't forget the beer!
(Burp)"
-
- Fast forward 15 years (that is if we're still around),
Britney Spears is the incumbent governor of California, and Dubya is on
his Nth tenure due to Martial Law. The continent known as the Middle East
at the turn of the millenium has been renamed the Empire of Zion, and our
dumbed-down couple is ill, sunk in debt, and on the breadline. On his eighth
mortgage; Fred is in a wheelchair from congestive heart failure, and Honey
has Alzheimer's disease. Both Fred and Honey are attending Barney's 15th
death anniversary. You see, on the night of the Superbowl Mad Cow Slaughter
, Barney had a little too much to drink and mowed down a mother and her
two year old baby, DUI of course, killing all three of them.
-
- Fred and Honey look around. The skies are dark and overcast
with chemtrails. There's an astronomical rise in CJD, brain tumors, cancers,
obesity, and heart disease. Our troops are dying from DU exposure. So is
our planet. The solemn couple hold hands as silent tears trickle down their
cheeks. If only.....
-
- In a flash, Fred clenches his fatty heart as a third
coronary attack shocks his system. Well, not to worry - there are cellphone
towers everywhere! It'll be easy to call the paramedics. Big Brother guarantees
they're just a hop and a skip away. They'll just locate Fred via GPS, scan
the RFID chip implanted beneath his skin for his medical and financial
records, then pump him with vaccines, medicines, and SSRI's that don't
work. Thanks to the biopharm giants, Fred will be just fine. Nothing to
worry about.
-
- As Fred is carted away in the ambulance, a newspaper
vendor stacks the newstand with the latest papers; hot off the press. Headline
:
-
- "CJD Expected To Claim Lives Of Millions This Year.
CDC Baffled. Cause Still Uknown."
-
- Sad.

- Dear Jeff,
-
- Thanks for John Mortera's article about the Super Bowl
Slaughter.
- I call it the 2004 edition of the Stupor Bowl. Yes, the
Stupor Bowl.
-
- I happen to reside within walking distance of the site
of this year's event.
- Just below Loop 610 here on this map. Thought I'd share
a bit of my Stupor Bowl experience.
- http://www.ci.houston.tx.us/events/reliant.htm
-
- On the map page, you can also see the massive new, corporate
titled, Colosseum that casts it's shadow over the once beloved Astrodome,
"The Eighth Wonder of the World". http://www.historichouston.org/newSite/landmarks/virtual/astrohistory.html
-
- Daily, I drive past the perky "Put Your Smile On
- Company's Coming!" billboards that are all over town. That's part
of our newly inaugerated Mayor's push to clean up our act before showtime.
He was so nice to the Stupor Bowl folks that he delayed the 3 year closure
of one of the main routes into downtown until after the game. What a guy!
I suppose that's a small break for the area's neighborhood. Now the folks
in the residential areas nearby downtown will have 3 weeks until the over
40,000 vehicles that route normally handles daily, gets dumped on their
streets instead. Should be interesting.
-
- So, according to the mayor and welcoming committee, we're
supposed to be smiling and sophisticated. I wonder if that applies to the
guys that try to wash my windshields at stop lights, the dudes hanging
outside the stores asking for "spare change" or the folks holding
the "Give Me Something For Nothing" cardboard signs under the
freeways and on the corners?
-
- "We are branding friendliness," according to
Jordy Tollett, president of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors
Bureau. "That's what's exciting about the Super Bowl. We're rebranding,"
said Chuck Watson, chairman of the Houston Super Bowl XXXVIII Host Committee.
Might as well brand it, just about everything else has been branded, right?
-
- http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/metropolitan/2363379
-
- There are a few other kinds of billboards as well, they
have a sort of theme. These are all color coded, for maximum brain attachment...big
white letters on a BIG BOLD RED background. I honestly can't remember any
of their phrases at the moment. They were along the "Party Hard"
and "Loud is Good" lines. I tuned them out pretty much right
away. But I know they're there.
-
- I think I heard of a volunteer "Pick Up the Trash
Around the Place Day" a week or so ago. I did see a bunch of neon
vested workers with lawn maintenance tools...and trash bags, but they looked
more like prisoners from the County Jail. Like the ones that clean the
banks of the big "B" bayous. We have a lot of bayous in Texas,
big and little. We have a lot of prisoners too, big and little. In fact,
come to think of it, our bayous should be much cleaner than they are, considering.
-
- For weeks, the street corners have been covered with
the "Rent Your Home for the Bowls" signs, with phone numbers
to contact to supposedly get big bucks. That's the ticket...move out of
one's home, and let Stupor Bowl strangers with the big bucks move in for
the duration. I've heard mixed reviews on these, but a local architect
says he has rented his home for the week for over $100,000. Amazing.
-
- I won't get into ticket prices much. I hear I can still
get one if I have big bucks. I heard of a nose bleed seat that was going
for $1000. I can tell you, if I fork out $1000 for something, it's going
to last for more than 4 hours, and it won't involve football.
-
- Of course, if I wanted the football thing, there is the
"NFL Experience" downtown at the George R. Brown Convention Center
going on..They have even added special regulation green aand white direction
signs on the freeways for it. It's " A family-oriented football theme
park with more than 50 different interactive games." For $15 for adults
and $12 for kids, one can take their children to the park for "learning
experience"and "training opportunity". I have no complaint
with the benefit of excercise in a sport for kids.They don't get near enough
of it. I must admit, however, that these days, when I hear them say "family-oriented"
and talk about "learning" and "training"... hmm...I
think of what a good job they are doing on that front elsewhere, like at
school. We're passing on the NFL experience.
-
- That NFL experience was held in the same place they had
the massive training day for cab drivers, bus drvers, limosene drivers,
etc. The ones that will be chauffering around the expected 100,000 visitors.
They're supposed to see us being smiling and sophisticated out their tinted
windows. These folks Include, of course, the Fortune 500 fans and corporate
leaders and all their big bucks. The drivers and service people need to
know how to give the royal treatment to these folks, you know? Ya'll come
back now, hear? And bring yur big bucks with you.
-
- I understand there is expected to be about 3.000 reporters,
photographers, TV producers, camera operators and such media types around.
That's a lot of media attention. I guess that's because there's so many
of them available with so much free time, because they sure don't spend
it on real news and journalism anymore. They have to give them something
to do. Covering football must be the best they can do anymore. It's not
too hard.
-
- I'll bet none of their cameras, situated methodically
at the pretty remote locations, with the skylines, and the city lights
and such, ever aim once at the demostrators expressing their various opinions
about all the things they never write or report on anyway, that will be
outside the gates and fences of the stadium. None of the media types reported
on the folks hanging their banners protesting the closure of the freeway
route to downtown, yesterday. None except the local Pacifica network station.
The others missed that. The others miss a lot these days, it seems.
-
- According to the Houston Barnacle the game/program/extravaganza
will be seen by more than 135 million people in this country, and 650 million
to 700 million more will watch in other countries, though methods of estimating
international viewership in Third World countries are not reliable. No
wonder CBS refused to air the moveon.org winning 30 second spot. People
might SEE it!! I wonder what that many people seeing that ad might do?
Oh, oh...they'd THINK!!! Every Stupor Bowl year, I wonder what real good
could be done on a local level with the money spent on just ONE of those
top ten commercials that will be played? I'd bet it could get a bigger
smile out of some of those people I spoke about earlier. The ones around
the freeways and on the corners.
-
- Ah, the Stupor Bowl experience. It's an amazing thing
to watch. Or so they say.
