So I'm watching the Superbowl last night on CTV, (technically I was watching CBS, the CRTC forces me to watch CTV), and I learned something I didn't know. Did you know the winter olympics are coming to Vancouver? AND, did you know CTV was carrying the games? I had no idea! My God! Was it necessary to have not one but at least 2 commercials for the olypics during every single commercial break?! I thought for sure they were going to premept the game so Donald Sutherland could mumble his way through a mini bio of Canada's only one eyed crokinole player. Halfway through the third quarter, I fell to my knees crying, my fists raised aboved my head, all the while blubbering, "I believe, I believe, make it stop!"
Yes CTV, I get it, you're carrying the games. If I get "I believe" shaved into my back hair will you give the commercials a friggin rest? Holy crap, they more relentless than a PBS pledge drive! If I hear that girl sing that cheesy, I guess it's supposed to be motivational, song one more time I may projectile vomit!
So not only was forced to sit through 321,456,987 CTV olympic commercials during one football game, thanks to the CRTC, I missed all the good U.S. commercials that go with Superbowl! But hey, at least I know the name and hometown and every single member of the Canadian olympic team.

Steroids in Baseball
So Mark McGwire finally admitted to using steroids yesterday. Wow, I'm shocked. In other news the sky is blue. Big deal! Anyone with a brain in their head knew he was on steroids, AND they knew it in '98 when he and Sammy Sosa battled back and forth to break the single season homerun record.
Why was he a hero then and a goat now? Did the media actually think he was clean back then? The man was built like Michael Cera for the first few years of career and then, suddenly, he shows up for spring training looking like he has 100 year old oak trees under his jersey! Well duh!
Look, the only people who care about steroids in baseball are the media and holier than thou non-fans. The vast majority of fans don't care! They want to see dingers, taters, moon shots! Steroids are not magic beans for pete's sake! They don't suddenly give you the ability to play baseball. You still have to have the skills!
I hope Big Mac gets his due from the Hall of Fame, but I don't have much faith in the Baseball writers for voting him in. They knew damn well he was on the juice when they were writing about him in '98 when he almost single handledly saved baseball after the strike, but now that it's become a scandle, we will boo and hiss him! I wish I was as self important as a baseball writer. If you let an asshole like Ty Cobb in, for God's sake, let McGwire in. And Bonds and Rose too! But don't get me started on Rose, thats another rant for another time.

The Simpsons
Tonight is the 20th anniversary of the Simpson's or some such nonsense. Let me be honest. I can't stand this train wreck. The last oh, let me see, 15 years of this show have made Fonzie's jumping of the shark look like the finale of M.A.S.H!
I mean honestly, is anybody watching Homer get stupider and stupider every week, or are we all just cringing through 30 minutes of yellow skinned hell to get to the cavalcade of Seth MacFarlane? Well maybe now that the Conan O'Brien's Tonight show is tanking, he'll come back to work for the Simpson's. After all, he was a writer on the show the last time it was any good. Just my two cents.
