Lloyd‘s my dude and I know he’s still young but, wow….

Yo, I ain’t gonna front: this was funny! ‘Daily Show’, ‘SNL’ and this (plus whatever else I’ve no doubt missed). Gotta admit that the roll-out for Justin Bieber‘s Never Say Never DVD is pretty impressive.
BTW, just gotta add this too: I hate the fact that I had to watch most of these ads after the fact online because (wack) Canadian ads got inserted into the feed for the live Super Bowl broadcast even if you watched it on the US channel in Toronto. *Smdh….*
These ads are a f-cking #FAIL to me. Like how Japanese animation characters never actually look Asian, how is that supposed to Will.i.am and Apl.de.ap??! They’re both so many shades off what they actually look like in real life I’m kind of offended even beyond the cloying Baby Black Eyed Peas concept!
As for their half-time show: I know cats were killing it on twitter but I actually thought it was pretty amazing from a spectacle point of view but kind of middling from a performance one. My mom for one, was thoroughly unimpressed which is not a good sign for a mega-crossover, pop/hip hop group that’s supposed to appeal to people who either say they don’t like hip hop or aren’t generally exposed to it. By comparison, like I said on twitter, she really liked Toronto’s underground political, super-group, The Freedom Writers‘ “Wake Up” track when she heard that on CKLN’s ‘Mixtape Massacre’ radio show this weekend!
What y’all think of them? The Chrysler one kind of made no sense to me plus wasn’t 8 Mile like a million years ago??
