My thought as well:
"Your new SMART METER has determined that you have exceeded your allotted Peak Period electricity consumption for this month."
They had to let them install it......or they would have gone to jail.
We're all black or at the very least not white.

Starting with a single rain drop, and doubling by volume every minute, how many minutes until the entire Super Bowl is under water?
I drove to my poor old mother's house.
I asked her if there was any hope.
She hit me in the head with a can of sardines.

You do realize we were a hanging chad from that guy being leader of the free world.
Same thing happening to the players' brains.

Call fucking Bernanke to print more fucking lights fast!!!!
I blame Tesla
can you blame someone who never gets any credit?
....no, I am referring to the band tesla, they couldn't read the signs and their hair got caught in the mechanical resonance....and I was like do this, don't do that, can't you read the signs????...so yeah, I pretty much blame them
Tesla had the brains.....Edison had the PR.
And the Five Man Electrical Band (formerly The Staccatos) only had that one hit in the US. Tesla covered "Signs" but without the fuzz tone guitar it lacked very much something.
Now the NFL has two Candlestick parks
nice
+1 winner
Brownie's doing a great job!
I wanted a bud dark
just another sign we have hit "peak photons"
I hope all those people in the dark thought ahead and brought scissors - just in case.
Is that Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin at the light switch?
No. He's in between the union switch-turner-onner and the NFL commisssioner, brokering "a deal".
And Ray Lewis jumps in his limo

Xinhua reports Superbowl power consumption increases 2.3%
US 'american' citizenism, best way to win a consumption game. Hallmark of expansionists.
The second thing is that saving is the losing way in a consumption game. Savers are only sparing resources that the other players are going consume right now.
And it is how it unfolded.
But hey, it is well known, US citizens are problem solvers.
Alas, we'll just have to bear with it. American citizenism citizens are all thrown under the train of consumerist consuming consumerism and then blobbed up against the wall of science of resource depletionizing depletionism. Made me laugh.
the best team was winning (no partisanship here) but if the score gets too lopsided a lot of advertising will be wasted! so turn out the lights and notify the referees, this is supposed to be a CLOSE game, one that keeps the sheeple glued to their seats!!
Very insightful seeing as in the first 4 minutes after the lights came back on, SF came back with 20 points to make it a 5 point game.
I think I swallowed one of my eyeballs

we can put a man on the moon but we can't put a moon on The Man
We put a man on the moon in 1968. That's ancient history - it was done by a bunch of old white guys.
Today, we live for social justice. Forward!
I think there were a couple monkeys on that space team if I remember correctly, but let's not split hairs.
Justified socialism...social justice.....legalized pot....potted plants...its all 3 sides of the same moon monkey.

California State Motto: "Bankruptcy has its privileges."
Anonymous: "We have deemed American Football too violent, so in order to show you our absolute power, we are turning off ALL the lights at the Superbowl...er, ummm, SOME of the lights at the SuperBowl."
In those 7 minutes of darkness:
8 people were stabbed;
84 people were mugged;
2 shot;
and 6 are still missing.
and 1 Billion people took a moment to ponder NFL marketing....the pinnacle of branding and a masterpiece of collective testosterone psychosis resulting in the transfer of incredible amounts of money to the architects and actors......who always seem to get communites to build them "free" stadiums
......in Chicago.
And at leat 5 babies made in the nosebleed bleachers on the dark side.
Yeah, but of the 8 people stabbed, Ray Lewis was only responsible for three of them.
worst superbowl ever, lets get out of here.....no! leave those on!
time for Beyonce to hip-sync a few lap dances on the sidelines
