...you know, the shower of meteorites that foreshadowed the massive rock that ended the age of the dinosaurs.
Stay with me on this: A week from tomorrow most Americans will be engaged in the annual Watching of the Overproduced Overhyped Commercials Occasionally Interrupted by a Football Game. All of the ads will have three things in common: they will feature people we are expected to recognize and WILL recognize if we are In Tune With the Modern Era, they will be about thirty seconds longer than necessary, and they will have nothing to do with the actual product which may or may not be featured in the commercial. I think this one features a Social Media personality- that's what is suggested in the comment section- but I don't know, nor do I care, because I'm not In Tune with the Modern Era.
A depressingly large population seems to enjoy these commercials; I'm even told that there are people who only watch the game FOR the commercials. Personally, I think that they are by far the worst thing about the Superbowl and the main reason why I often don't even watch the game. When I go to Superbowl parties, commercials are times to step out of the room, look at my phone, maybe try to engage in a conversation (which usually doesn't work because most people there want to take in the commercial.) Actually I just go for the food and because I feel like I'm required to engage in national rituals now and then and one day a year seems about right.
As for Taco Bell- well, this stuff is crap but so are people obsessed with their social media presence, so I guess this kind of makes sense. If you think that Taco Bell is "food" you probably think that having a "following" makes you a "celebrity" and therefore "important." So stay addicted to ultra-processed grease, fat, carbs and Attention from Strangers; probably better for you than Meth, anyway.
