that corporate silicon valley super bowl thing

Well, it seems that Sarah Mennefee, that old poet, homeless activist, and Facebook gadfly is not entirely wrong. The corporatization of the Bay Area, which really kicked into gear in the 1980s and is now on self-propelling steroids, was completed with a final nail in the coffin: Super Bowl in Silicon Valley.

Demise of wild, windy Candlestick Park and creation of a corporate behemoth: Levi Park. Watching the Super Bowl is admittedly no more representative of football than Justin Beiber is of music, but the way in which a gritty, exciting sport has been turned into so much flash, hype, and terrabytes is... okay... indicative of where about 50 percent America is today. For confirmation, watch most presidential debates. This is shit the world will be holding up as a textbook case of what not to do, if any semblance of the planet as we know it exists in a couple hundred years.

Meanwhile, real writers and artists exist at the fringes, as I suppose they always have, since capitalism forged great blocs of mediocrity. 

SEO Alert: Damon Shulenberger, aka EnduranceWriter, serving up verbiage on a hot steaming plate.
