a war to end up like the French revolution?

In Egypt, the "war" is turning out to be more and more like a revolution. The only difference is it is not in France or involving the united states. Some say Egypt might even split into two parts eastern and western.

The fighting has now moved onto Yemen and soon to Iran. A revolution that happened over 2,000 years ago has made it's way to Egypt. Basically all the united states is doing is sitting back and smiling.

Superbowl ads

I think the two Favorite Superbowl ads in America was the little boy being Darth Vader, Trying the start everything. His father comes home with the new Volkswagen and starts his car with the button on his keys. The Doritos boy was another favorite because his mom started seeing someone new and that was his first mistake according to the kid, another mistake was he touched the boys Doritos.

For the game it's self that was a disaster. Steelers lost, halftime show was a mess. Fregie couldn't sing on note, The lighting on the V of the word love was out. They sang old songs they couldn't do. The good part of the show was the song choices and the dancers and shirts lighting up in certain pattern. I thought that was pretty cool
