Late Breaking Assignment...

As a twenty two year old female, I’ve had the pleasure to watch numerous Super Bowl football games. I actually wouldn’t go as far to say that I’ve watched all of the games, but I’ve definitely stayed tuned to several of the advertisements and half-time shows.

I went to a Super Bowl party excited to be with friends, enjoy the game, and be humored by commercials. But I must say that I was thoroughly disappointed. The game was amazing, but the entertainment value for the game didn’t seem to step itself up from last year. The commercials seemed to be mediocre and unoriginal, and as for the half-time show. Well I didn’t even watch it.

I’m not exactly sure why commercials haven’t been a huge buzz, but I’m assuming that the television network is trying to play it safe. It seems as if they aren’t trying to push the envelope ever since the Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction a few years ago.
In my eyes, babies throwing up, horses and Dalmatians clapping, and gecko’s dancing, isn’t the most entertaining thing. Although the unattractive lady walking down the street getting all the stares from her ‘cashew’ scent was hysterical.

All and all, the network should be taking more risks than it has been. It’s just not as fun as it used to be. (221 words).

Double-check the meaning of "to be humored by." I think you meant to be amused by or entertained by.

I liked the ad with the Budweiser Clydesdale in training...but then I've always liked horses.
