Super Bowl XL Detroit: The Glass is Half Full Argument

January 18, 2006 at 2:00 PM | by markj | 0 Comments

Super Bowl XL is in Detroit?

What the hell is the NFL smoking?

On February 2nd bushels of NFL fans and corporate gravy trainers will have to pay $550 (face value) for a game ticket, and more importantly spend a couple of days in Detroit.

Instead of joining the bitch bandwagon we figured we would tell football fans the three things they can look forward to on their trip to Detroit:

·   The Super Bowl is downtown
First, a downtown Super Bowl means getting to and from the game should be relatively easy--at the very least options should be plentiful.

·   Casinos are close by
The "new Detroit" as the tourism wonks call it is full of full fledged casinos.  Detroit just so happens to be the largest U.S. city that offers casino gaming.

·   Cuban Cigars
Banned in the US, Cubans are legal but head over the nearby Ambassador Bridge into Windsor Canada and you can get Cubans all night long.  Pop shops like Havana Heaven should take care of your smoking needs.

·   "The Windsor Ballet"
Cigars aren't the only thing readily available in Canada.  "Windsor Ballet" is the street name for the for the all-nude clubs that pepper the Chatam street area.  The girls at Cheetah's, one of the more popular clubs are expecting to do a brisk business during Super Bowl week.

Oh, and one more thing:

Canadian law permits the exchange of money for sex between consenting adults. It doesn't allow brothels. It doesn't allow public solicitation, as in prostitutes on street corners or pimps. But it does allow for escort services, where once an escort and a client get behind closed doors, say in a hotel room, they can agree to do many things, including have sex.

Looks like the NFL does know how to entice their sales executive audience after all.  This may be the most sinful Super Bowl after all.
