The American Way
What does America love most of all? It’s not apple pie, pickup trucks or major league baseball. It’s surprisingly not even the NFL, which is America’s actual league. Nope, there’s one thing this great nation loves even more than football — jetpacks. That’s right, Space Age jet propelled rocket belts.
Jetpacks are America’s unicorn, as in “Eleanor’s Memphis’s unicorn.” If you told someone in the 60’s that personal jetpacks wouldn’t be common luxury items in 2012 they’d have thought something went terribly wrong. We love jet packs. And the only thing better than a jetpack is a jetpack at the Super Bowl. This is news to me, I never knew this happened. Let alone happened twice.
In Super Bowl I the Green Bay Packers played the Kansas City Chiefs in Memorial Coliseum. During the halftime show two jet propelled pilots flew around the field. Eighteen years later Super Bowl XIX had an over the top halftime performance set to the theme “The World of Children’s Dreams”, watch the whole video to see how excessive it was. The halftime show featured a space scene to represent the first landing on the moon. A man walks out, plants the American flag, gives the thumbs up and rockets away. All things considered, this really shouldn’t surprise me. The Super Bowl is the pinnacle of self-indulgence, it’s extravagance for extravagance sake. It’s America at its most overblown point, all eyes on me. Of course we want to see jetpacks at the Super Bowl, it’s the American way.
