The New York Giants' Super Bowl upset over the (until then, ha ha ha) undefeated New England Patriots had a lot of people saying WTF?!, but for me the WTF moment came after the game, when some dude (Terry Bradshaw?) presented winning QB and MVP Eli Manning with the keys to a HYBRID Escalade. Awesome, a HYBRID Escalade. It caused some cognitive dissonance for me and apparently for Manning, who unlike me, deals with such situations gracefully, said 'Thanks', and moved on.
Later I wondered: why stop at the HYBRID Escalade? Consider the possibilities:
"Congratulations Eli Manning! You've won the Super Bowl! Here are the keys to a HYBRID Escalade!"
Eli Manning: Thanks! I couldn't have done it without my teammates, you know...
"But there's more! Inside that Escalade, it's A YEAR SUPPLY OF KOOL MENTHOLS! KOOL MENTHOLS - the cigarettes with that minty fresh taste!"
Eli Manning: Uh, thanks, you know...
"And on every carton, there's a coupon good for one FREE HOUR at your local GOLD'S GYM!"
Eli Manning: That's great. You know, our fans have really been there....
"Your SuperBowl Fantasy isn't over! Drive your new HYBRID Escalade to your very own METH LAB!"
Eli Manning: What?!?
"It's SOLAR POWERED!"
Eli Manning: You know, we've been working for this all year, this is OUR moment, I question whether this...
"And if that doesn't satisfy your thirst for entrepreneurial adventures, wait till you see THE FACTORY IN INDONESIA WHERE ALL THE WORKERS ARE ORPHANS BELOW THE AGE OF 12"
Eli Manning: What is this? Guys, who's idea was....
"They make CRUELTY-FREE ARTIFICIAL LEATHER SHOES!"
Eli Manning: Security?!
