This Year’s Super Bowl Will Be A Cheerleader-Free Zone

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comFebruary 3, 2011 //

There will be something missing during Sunday night’s Super Bowl—something that’s been a part of football’s biggest event for the past 45 years. Cheerleaders! Apparently, neither the Green Bay Packers or the Pittsburgh Steelers have them—the Steelers sent their cheerleaders packing in 1970 and Green Bay got rid of their pom-pom shakers in 1988. And the NFL has confirmed that they won’t be providing a squad to make up for the void. Well, since there won’t be a cadre of pretty women on the sidelines, this should at least make the Super Bowl cameramen a touch more creative on what to shoot before cutting to a commercial.

PETA Wants To Run Commercial Of Hot Girls Fellating Vegetables During the Super Bowl

Jessica WakemanJanuary 31, 2011 //


You work that carrot, baby! In 2009, PETA was willing to pay millions to run a commercial during the Super Bowl of scantily clad women making out with vegetables. The networks declined to air “Veggie Love” — think of the children! — but now PETA is trying again with an “outtakes” video. Once again they’ve upset the delicate balance between animal rights/objectifying women. But when it comes to PETA, what else is new? Hey, how many meateaters became vegans or vegetarians because a bikini model fellated a stick of celery? [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

Oprah Awkwardly Attacks Drew Brees’ Face

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comFebruary 16, 2010 //


Oh, Oprah. Last week she invited New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees on her show. If you’ve seen him at least once sans helmet, you know that he has a birthmark by his eye. Oprah, apparently had no idea. Watch above as she says, “Who just kissed you? There’s a big old smudge right there,” and then tries to wipe it off. Awk-ward. Keep reading »

A Woman’s Take On The Super Bowl’s “Man’s Last Stand” Dodge Commercial

Jessica WakemanFebruary 12, 2010 //

As we all know, the theme of this year’s Super Bowl commercials (lovingly curated in a slideshow by Amelia) was OH NOES! WOMEN ARE EMASCULATING THE MENFOLK!

Dodge Chargers’ ad about “Man’s Last Stand,” in particular, had a lot of critics rolling their eyes for the way it depicted modern dudes as a sorry, henpecked lot. Producer MacKenzie Fegan has filmed a “response” ad called “Woman’s Last Stand,” and though it’s a wee bit bitter, the sentiment has us fist-pumping like we’re on the freaking Jersey Shore. (Warning: two little curse words make it not safe for work.) [The Sexist] Keep reading »

Susannah BreslinFebruary 8, 2010 //

Go ahead. Just attempt to watch this Google commercial that aired during the Super Bowl and not get choked up. If you can do it, you are made of far stronger mettle than me. It’s super sweet, and it’s a great fit for Valentine’s Day. The only thing is, there’s something slightly creepy about it. I mean, isn’t there? One cannot help but wonder: Am I living my life, or am I Googling myself into the future? I have no idea. Keep reading »

What Would The Super Bowl Be Like If Famous Directors Had Control?

Kelli BenderFebruary 7, 2010 //

Super Bowl Sunday is offering some alternatives for those who don’t praise the pig skin. There’s the Puppy Bowl, plus MTV is bringing out the big guns (literally) with their Jersey Bowl (aka a “Jersey Shore” marathon). But what would be a way to get more non-fans to tune into the game? This video presents an interesting idea—imagining what the High Holy Day of Football would be like if famous directors were allowed to give it a go. Now you have a chance to see how the big game would be with a hip Wes Anderson soundtrack or Quentin Tarantino’s action-packed cuts. Or you can just focus on how shiny the pants on football uniforms are? Keep reading »

Rihanna Rocks Sword Microphone

Susannah BreslinFebruary 5, 2010 //

At last night’s Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam in South Beach, Rihanna took to the stage and sang a medley of “Madhouse,” “Wait Your Turn,” “Live Your Life,” and “Disturbia.” She did it all in a one-armed, one-legged, futuristic black-and-white jumpsuit while singing into a microphone attached to a life-size sword. Probably, that weapon would come in handy if Chris Brown tried to bum-rush stage. She could decapitate him without missing a beat. Keep reading »
