I'm a little behind the pack in posting this one, but really, is it ever too late to criticize a fake football game advertising, oddly, Dodge trucks, to be broadcast on pay-per-view for $20 during halftime of the SuperBowl? No, it isn't -- when the "game" will be played by lingerie-clad supermodels, that is. Perhaps Dodge shareholders would be better served by the company simply sending a stripper to the home of each and every man in in America on that sacred Sunday. Gee, what will the actual halftime show have to stoop to in order to keep viewers -- Justin Timberlake kissing Steven Tyler? Synchronized striptease by the Olsen Twins? Kangaroo court trial of Michael Jackson on the 50 yard line, followed by stoning? Next year, why even have the football game at all -- just show five hours of Cinemax porn and beer commercials, and surely the ratings would be at an all-time high -- and the game can be on pay-per-view. Gaaahhhh.

UPDATE: Vent your spleen by reading the mealymouthed apologia of Mitch Mortaza, brainiac behind the Lingerie Bowl: "We don't want to compromise the girls." GRRRR! First of all, was I misinformed, or will there only be WOMEN participating in this shenanigan, not girls? Second...oh LT, why, why?? I think I'll be sending off some fiery email today to the board of Daimler-Chrysler...I'll give you a "refreshing, sexy alternative," Mortaza! :P
