The Irony of Bloggers and the Super Bowl

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 02.05.07 // 07:19 AM

Often bloggers will think of themselves as an independent voice, and alternative to traditional media. Sometimes they'll make bold claims such as, 'TV is dead' or 'there is no more mass media.....we're all media', etc. Yet here we all are blogging and twittering away about the most mass media of media events, the Super Bowl.

Like the tragedies that all-to-often hit us, the Super Bowl unites many of us for a short period of time. We gather online to talk about the game and ponder whether Peyton will win the big one. Mostly though we talk about the commercials.

Wait, I'm a blogger, I'm supposed to be anti-commercial. After all, TV's dead :-)
