Perfection

Hey bro,

I think tonight I witnessed perfection, in the form of a Superbowl commercial. There, before my amazed eyes, I watched an animated lizard pimping drinks, hip-hop artists rapping, monsters and aliens from a Disney movie, all presented in 3D within one thirty-second spot. My god, it was truly the ultimate expression of materialism and commercialism.

I wish you had been here, but I imagine getting you to watch the Superbowl would be like reprogramming Alex from "A Clockwork Orange", replete with straps, eye drops, and gagging.

You would have hated it. You would have loved it because you hated it. We would have laughed if you had been here to watch it with me.
