Duluth Trading Company

Now, we hate commercials as much as the next guy, and since Sunday was the Super Bowl of Commercials, we decided to highlight actual, worthy commercials. We've been looking since last Tuesday, and couldn't find any.

Then suddenly we did. They were all made by the Duluth Trading Company.





They sell pants and things.

Vince out.

Super Bowl Porn Update: Free Money!

The Super Bowl Porn saga continues. This most recent twist is a move by Comcast to save face (in this context that feels really dirty...) by sending all their customers who may have witnessed the accidental porn $10.

So, as Wonkette puts it, Comcast will pay their customers to watch pornography.

Surrealism is alive and well.

Porn During the Super Bowl and Why It Means Surrealism is Alive and Well

Okay- I'm going to blame this on poor research on my part. But at one point in time, Luis Buñuel (I think- correct me if I'm wrong) said (and I'm paraphrasing) that a truly surrealist gesture would be to lock people in a theater and inflict a pornographic movie on them... (If I could somehow Google through the books on my bookshelf I could get an exact quote- but alas, I can't).

Anyway, cut to last night's Superbowl- then Cut to Pornography.

Here's the story:

TUCSON, Ariz. — A cable television provider has apologized to Tucson-area customers over a 30-second porn interruption during the Super Bowl. Philadelphia-based Comcast issued a brief statement Monday saying the company is "mortified" and is conducting a thorough investigation.

Check out NSFW video of the event here. The story continues...

Comcast spokeswoman Jennifer Khoury says the initial investigation suggests that the interruption was an "isolated, malicious act."

So, whichever master control operator pulled this off, technically, did something very surreal. Very surreal. Think about it, how many people can you fit in a movie theater? 200 these days- if you're lucky, though the number in the old days. Now, how many people watch the Super Bowl? I don't know (again, poor research) but way more than 200. So not only did this guy perform a surrealist act, he performed a surrealist act on a scale far greater than the original surrealists ever imagined!

In conclusion, should the culprit chose to come forward they would definitely lose their job, possibly face jail-time, and be welcomed with open arms here at P.S.U.A. - the surrealists union.
