The Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl, leaving Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger reportedly looking all “winded and rapey” on the sideline. Christina Aquilera messed up the “Star Spangled Banner” before the game, later attributing the mistake to being “lost in the power of the song.” A few hundred fans who used their tickets to get into the game soon found out that they had no seats after engineers failed to certify the safety of several temporary seating areas in time for the game. They get a refund and a free trip to next year's game, in which their favorite team will almost certainly not be participating.

There's some type of movement in England against rich people dodging taxes while services are cut for poor people. Kind of like America's Tea Party. The real one. Not today's stupid one.
