I need more white friends (was forum=28)Follow
I hate it when my foreign friends fill my hovercraft with eels.
I watched the Black Eyed Peas and Usher on the superbowl halftime show. That's something.

The Super Bowl pre-game coverage seemed to fall to a new low this year. I don't normally watch all the pre-game crap, but this year, uncertain what time the game was actually supposed to start, and too lazy to find out, I just turned the television on and saw Michael Strahan interviewing celebrities on a red carpet outside the stadium.

Not sports-related celebrities... just celebrities.. Michael Douglas, his wife etc.
Somehow this seemed to me to signify the end of sports being about sports. The competition was irrelevant, only the spectacle mattered. Maybe its been this way for years, I dunno, like I said I don't usually turn any game on until the first pitch/puck drop/kickoff is about to happen.
Oh, well. I think I'll head back to my cave. Its cool and quiet in there.

I think it's a very deliberate broadcasting company strategy for the Super Bowl, for better or worse. They know that the football fans are a captive audience. A sh*tty pregame or halftime show aren't going to dissuade that type from watching the game. Heck, they're just as likely to have those parts of the broadcast running on their TV's, even if they're not actively watching.
Speaking in generalities, the non-football fan aren't a given. So they figure they'll add some touches here and there to cater to them. That's why you get Britney Spears, or the Black Eyed Peas, or Justin Timberlake doing the halftime show. It keeps the non-football demographic (predominantly females) entertained, gives the SB more wide-reaching appeal, and makes it seem less a game, and more of a cultural event. Devoting pregame stuff to celebrities is just more of the same.
At least, that had been the motivation until the Janet Jackson breast thing happened. They got away from the strategy a bit after that, going for more "safe" acts with broad appeal, like Bruce Springsteen or The Rolling Stones. Perhaps enough time has passed that they're going back to it, though.

I imagine varrus playing basketball with black people is a bit like when Joe Pesci played in "The Super."
i.e. embarrassing for everyone involved, but for the most part he remains blissfully unaware that everyone is laughing.

Except the women are supposed to be in the kitchen preparing the second half Snacks and drinks during halftime so that they wont make noise during the game. Hello! Can't hear the game while you're blending my margarita and breaking open a new bag'o'chips.

I'm hispanic and can pass for white. It's always funny to speak spanish around people that don't know I'm hispanic and get all kinds of shocked reactions. 
Hell, I'll get that reaction from other hispanics that think I'm white, too.
I think it makes my white friends happy to both have a "white" friend and still feel that they have ethnically diverse friends.

Anyone who doesn't know you're not white is a moron. You have a first name no (American) white person has had the balls to give their kid in over 40 years.

I was respecting his privacy, but ok.

It's all right. I've said my real name on the forums more than once. Thanks for respecting my privacy regardless, though!
I agree with that, too. It's usually hispanics that think naming your kid Elvis is somehow the most american thing you could do. My parents weren't very bright, obviously (I'm sure that was easy to figure out with some of my posts here
). Interestingly enough, some people still assume I'm white. Even after I tell them my name and then force a smile after some unoriginal Elvis joke comes my way.
Elvis is a Hispanic name?

Italian, but every other "Elvis" I've met, online or otherwise, have all been hispanic. Hell, there was a myspace group that I got invited into called "People with the name Elvis" and I'd say 90% of everyone in there were hispanic. We made a thread on it kind of laughing at that fact. It was a good...uh...200? or so in the group.
Obviously, these aren't big enough numbers for statistics but meh. Who cares.

I hated my old Mexican roommate. Granted my house was always clean, but when he had a bunch of friends/family over they would talk nonstop in their language... probably about me which is why I would randomly say things like "IM NOT FAT" to break the ice and remind them that they were leaving me out of the conversation.
I pray that you aren't serious....
I had made one White friend when I moved last August but since I've found where the Japanese people are here, she has decided not to talk to me anymore. I don't have any White friends. I don't mind one little bit. It's nice that my almost 2 year old has friends now who understand what he's saying and visa versa. I could do without them very easily.
