Did the Best Super Bowl Ad Only Air in Savannah, Georgia?
There was a CRAZY, two-minute-long Super Bowl ad that aired locally in Georgia, for a personal injury lawyer named JAMIE CASINO. It wasn't a joke . . . and it felt like a blend of a hard rock music video, a crazed gangster movie, and a trailer for a NICOLAS CAGE revenge flick.
The ad played like a cross between a hard rock music video and a trailer for some NICOLAS CAGE action / revenge / gangster flick . . . complete with murder, vengeance, and a flaming sledgehammer demolishing a tombstone.
Best of all: Apparently, it's 100% serious. (Here's the ad.)

Is It Time for a Chubby Disney Princess? A Virginia High School Girl Thinks So
A high school junior started an online petition to get Disney to introduce a plus-size princess. She says, quote, "It would be revolutionary for Disney to show support to a group of girls who are otherwise horrendously bullied by the media. It would make many young girls feel confident and worthy to see a strong character that looks like them."
JEWEL MOORE, a high-school junior from Farmville, Virginia, started a petition on Change.org to get Disney to make a movie about a CANDY-COATED Princess.
Jewel is plus-size herself, and obviously wise beyond her years. Her petition states, quote, "Studies show that a child's confidence correlates greatly with how much representation they have in the media.
"It would be revolutionary for Disney to show support to a group of girls who are otherwise horrendously bullied by the media.
"It would make many young girls feel confident and worthy to see a strong character that looks like them. This move on Disney's part would have an amazing positive ripple effect in people all around the world."
As of last night the petition had more than 17,000 signatures. (Until then, at least there's "Shrek".) (???)
