What's That? There's a Big Sporting Event This Weekend?

So I was flipping through my friend Steve Jobs’ diary (honest!) and discovered that he doesn’t particularly care for football. Wasn’t even aware of Sunday’s Super Bowl. Seems he’s partial to European sports like cycling and cross-country skiing, and thinks it’s outrageous that we don’t have tai chi on television in this country the way they do in every country in Asia. Who knew?

Well, I and everyone else I know will certainly be watching the big game. And the megabuck ads. Fox is asking as much as $2.6 million to $3 million for a 30 second spot!

Did Steve buy one? Apple’s not on the lineup but, with Steve, you never know.

Maybe there will be an Apple Super Bowl surprise?

If there is, I doubt there will be mention of a product. Maybe "something else in the air" or a tease of some kind.

Look for an ad at the Oscars.

Pretty funny, great picture of the 4 Horsemen. I sure hope the ads are better this year. I thought they were pretty lame last year. Garmin will be interesting. Their new iPhone-like phone has G3 and GPS. Don't have any idea whether the phone etc works well, but the GPS will I'm sure.

The beer ads are bound to be good.

Funny! Is this guy going to get sued by Jobs for doing this? Pretty funny!

No, he says he's "fake" Steve Jobs so it is a parody. Parodies are legal.
