Why is the Super Bowl so disgusting?

I really enjoy a good sports game, I like football. Tonight, however, I threw up in my mouth a little. Maybe it was the Black Eyed Peas lovely performance, maybe it was watching my tax dollars being flushed down the toilet in 30 second GM commercials, perhaps it’s the fact that the kiddos down the street from me aren’t sure if their school is going to be open next year while there are billions of dollars to be spent on commercials. Whatever it was, it hit hard. Is this real life?
