…when you wonder if Scrappleface and Iowahawk are even legally satire anymore.

Bob Collins covered the “press” conference announcing the Super Bowl halftime entertainment.

I’ll let that sink in for a moment.

Not a very promising premise.  Right?

Oh, it gets worse:

This afternoon, Alicia Keyes and Jordan Sparks were announced as the pre-game entertainment, an event usually covered by the B-squad anyway, but still…

Lynne Miller (Ironstar) – “First of all, I love you. I think you’re fantastic….” It didn’t get better. She wanted to know what was in their iPods.

Amanda Jahn (Channel 3 News) – “First, you guys are so beautiful…” Why even bother with what her question was?

Yetta Gibson (Fox Phoenix) – “How ya doin? Where are your seats? And are you forced to root for the Knicks?” The what? The Knicks? I looked her up on the Internet. She’s described as “an Emmy Award-winning journalist.” That should tell you how hard it is to win a local Emmy.

Tom Petty, the halftime show, is up next. NFL Network analyst Terrel Davis says he’s never heard of Tom Petty. Ugh.

Never thought Nick Coleman would look good in comparison.
