Surrender To The Cuteness
We paid only cursory attention to The Big Game last night on TV, and used every available opportunity to get away from John Madden's thunderously inane prattle -- we got more unhealthful snacks, cracked open another cole burr, or switched over to the Puppy Bowl, today's no. 33 top link. The geniuses at Animal Planet built a little football field, scattered some chewy and squeaky toys on the Astroturf, and let about a dozen puppies run loose on the field. The program was criminally adorable; only the coldest hearted of robots could resist melting at the sight of the canine craziness. (The best was the camera they put in the bottom of the dogs' water dish, which showed a nose-eye-view of the little puppies' lapping up some water!) Let's all say it together: "Awwwww!"
Relatedly, last night marked the debut of the best TV commercial ever shown.
