There's been a trend lately of releasing adds for the Super Bowl early. It actually started several years ago by showing the commercials before the game during all the pregame crap. Many commented then that how can it be a Super Bowl Commercial if it's shown before the game and not during it? Exactly!
Well now they've doubled and quadrupled on that and are actually "releasing" these commercials before Sunday. I'm sorry guys, you can't call it a Super Bow Commercial if you show it before the Super Bowl. A Super Bowl Commercial is shown during the Super Bowl Game. Using a commercial before the game and calling it a Super Bowl Commercial is like the GOP saying they're concerned for the middle-class. They can say it all they want, but it doesn't make it so.
Now, Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch) is per usual being the most creative. Instead of releasing their commercial they're releasing teasers about their commercial creating anticipation about their commercial without using their commercial.
OK, enough faux outrage about the Super Bowl commercials. Let's talk about that other faux outrage "Deflategate"! NOT!
On with the games!!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
Disclaimer; Kinda like the Pirates Code, they're just guidelines, meant for fun. They aren't hard and fast rules.
1) If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
2) Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
3) You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
4) You don't have to comment to recommend.
5) You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen. It has in numerous forms, I'm flattered!)
6) Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
7) TexDem (that's me) is not bound by the guidelines. Neither are you
Mojo Friday Goals
Disclaimer; These are mostly here for nostalgia, the site has changed so much and the servers have been upgraded to the point I don't think we could fuck with the site with 1000 people participating. 2007 it ain't.
A. At least 300 different commenters and 1000 comments by 1:30 PM EST and 1500 by 5:00 PM EST Friday Night that it's posted.
B. 100 recommends for each comment, at least.
C. Stay on Recommend List at least five hours (this requires some strategic planning by you guys, refer to guideline #3)
D. At least 200 diary recommends. 300 would be better, spread the word.
E. And always, fun fun fun.
F. Have at least 75% average participation rate as seen here in the Mojo Friday Postgame Show by Woodtick and bjedward.
G. (New) Have at least 30 kossacks over 90% participation (see here for some tips).
H. Overload the servers with recommends, not to mention dominate Top Comments Mojo list. (we do tend to mess with the site with all of our recommends at one time)(also, to dominate the Top Comments Top Mojo we need at least 50 comments with over 200 recommends, see guideline B)
I. That's enough for now. (Have a suggestion? Post it.)
