Sunday is a day that has become synonymous with silly rituals. In fact, the word "Sunday" comes from the ancient Mesopotamian word "Suna-Dayik"; a derogatory term used to describe someone who blindly follows a useless tradition without really understanding why. The literal translation is: "Silly follower". If your bullshit alarm is going off at the moment, congratulations. Just remember something: I'm only half-kidding.
This particular Sunday we have one of the greatest silly rituals of all time. A veritable orgy of consumerism, gluttony and drunken debauchery. The most entertaining television programming of the year will be shown in the form of thirty-second commercials. Roughly 30 MILLION pounds of snacks will be shoveled into pie-holes and rinsed down with millions of gallons of beer. A hilarious train wreck of irrelevent entertainers will prance around as we all look away in embarassment during the infamous half-time show. And a bunch of guys will play football or something. Whatever.
The important thing to remember is this: Some overpaid suits actually sat down in a meeting somwhere and collectively decided that we all really, really LOVE Prince.....
Yeah, I know....I thought they were kidding too. Until the end part. I'm gonna go take a handful of tranquilizers and slip into a warm bath. If I'm still breathing, wake me up when all this is over. SUNA-DAYIK!!!
