Morgen Abend ist es so weit, das nicht so wirklich Runde muss durch das nach oben offene Eckige – oder so. Der Superbowl findet wieder statt und auch wenn es Aaron Rodgers und seine Packers durch das Verletzungspech nicht geschafft haben, dürfte das Match der Falcons gegen die Patriots spannend werden.
Hierzulande ist Football ja noch eher eine Randerscheinung, auch wenn Buschi und Co (noch) einen herausragenden Job bei ranNFL gemacht haben, trotzdem startet Samsung nun ein kleines Gewinnspiel auf Twitter zu dem Spektakel.
Kurz: Bis zum Abpfiff muss man mit den Hashtags #couchcrew und #SB51 twittern (beide Hashtags müssen in den Tweets enhalten sein), bis zu fünf Tweets werden als Lose gewertet. Außerdem muss man SamsungDE auf Twitter folgen. Zu gewinnen gibt es ein ziemlich mächtiges Entertainment-Paket:
- 1x Samsung Galaxy S7 32GB in black-onyx
- 1x SUHD TV UE55KS9090
- 1x Blu-Ray Player UBDK8500
- 1x Soundbar HW-K850
Gewinnspiel! Jetzt einen Tweet mit #couchcrew und #SB51 verschicken und großes Fan Entertainment Paket gewinnen: https://t.co/9cYaglid2e pic.twitter.com/Frhr2JsYmQ

Ich konnte die letzten Wochen die Playoffs auf dem KS9590 schauen – der Testbericht ist hier – und sage daher, dass sich das Mitmachen lohnt (wobei ich das so genau nicht sagen kann, der KS9590 unterscheidet sich etwa durch DirectLED von dem KS9090). Die genauen Teilnahmebedingungen finden sich hier. Wer noch kein Twitter hat: Angemeldet ist man schnell, für mich das wichtigste soziale Netzwerk – AllAboutSamsung ist natürlich auch vertreten, privat twittere ich dort als @Lsawesome. Viel Glück euch beim Gewinnspiel und: #GoPats. Da Samsung dieses Jahr keine Werbung zum Superbowl schaltet hier Bierwerbung:
Reicht der bekloppte Hype um Fußball hierzulande nicht?
Kein Twitter = Kein Gewinn 🙁
Leider ?
#GoPats
Keine Panik Lars, wir tragen die weißen Jerseys 😉
😀
Meh. Wird wohl nichts. Edelmann fängt nichts, Brady ungewohnt unsauber, Falcons extrem stark.
Weiße Jerseys, mein Freund ?
Was ein geiles Spiel ???
Unfassbar. Un.fass.bar. Standen irgendwann im Wohnzimmer. Der SB schlägt alles.
Fantastisches Spiel! Jetzt sind leider wieder 7 Monate Pause… 🙁
Totaler Wahnsinn, nicht zu fassen! Wobei ich das Ende 2015 noch krasser fand, natürlich nicht das Spiel als solches, aber der letzte Spielzug eben.
Superbowl. DAS SPEKTAKEL überhaupt in den USA.
„Hierzulande ist Football ja noch eher eine Randerscheinung“.
Streich das Wort „noch“ weg dann passt das. Football ist nichts für Europäer und wird auch in der Zukunft nichts für Europäer sein.
Naja, historisch gesehen, sind das ja alles Europäer ??
Alle nicht. Da gibt’s noch die Indianer, denen das Land eigentlich gehört ?
Jap, hast Recht, habs vergessen ??
siehe Punkt 5:
John Cleese’s Letter to the USA
To the citizens of the United States of America, in light of your
failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern
yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your
independence, effective today.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II resumes monarchical duties
over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which
she does not fancy.
Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the
97.8% of you who have, until now, been unaware there’s a world outside
your borders) will appoint a Minister for America. Congress and the
Senate are disbanded. A questionnaire circulated next year will
determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid your transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. Look up „revocation“ in the Oxford English Dictionary. Check
„aluminium“ in the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how
wrongly you pronounce it. The letter ‚U‘ will be reinstated in words
such as ‚favour‘ and ’neighbour‘. Likewise you will learn to spell
‚doughnut‘ without skipping half the letters. Generally, you should
raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up „vocabulary.“
Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises
such as „like“ and „you know“ is an unacceptable and inefficient form of
communication. Look up „interspersed.“ There will be no more ‚bleeps‘
in the Jerry Springer show. If you’re not old enough to cope with bad
language then you should not have chat shows.
2. There is no such thing as „U.S. English.“ We’ll let Microsoft know
on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take
account of the reinstated letter ‚u‘.
3. You should learn to distinguish English and Australian accents. It
really isn’t that hard. English accents are not limited to cockney,
upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). Scottish dramas such
as ‚Taggart‘ will no longer be broadcast with subtitles.You must learn
that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the
county is „Devon.“ If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American
States will become „shires“ e.g. Texasshire Floridashire,
Louisianashire.
4. You should relearn your original national anthem, „God Save The Queen“, but only after fully carrying out task 1.
5. You should stop playing American „football.“ There’s only one kind
of football. What you call American „football“ is not a very good game.
The 2.1% of you aware there is a world outside your borders may have
noticed no one else plays „American“ football. You should instead play
proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the
girls.
Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby
(which is similar to American „football“, but does not involve stopping
for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like
nancies).
You should stop playing baseball. It’s not reasonable to host an
event called the ‚World Series‘ for a game which is not played outside
of America. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls‘
game called „rounders,“ which is baseball without fancy team stripe,
oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.
6. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns, or anything
more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler. Because you are not
sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you need a permit
to carry a vegetable peeler.
7. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday. It will be called „Indecisive Day.“
8. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for
your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we
mean. All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you
will start driving on the left. At the same time, you will go metric
without the benefit of conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication
will help you understand the British sense of humour.
9. Learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are
not real chips. Fries aren’t French, they’re Belgian though 97.8% of you
(including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not aware
of a country called Belgium. Potato chips are properly called „crisps.“
Real chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The traditional
accompaniment to chips is beer which should be served warm and flat.
10. The cold tasteless stuff you call beer is actually lager. Only
proper British Bitter will be referred to as „beer.“ Substances once
known as „American Beer“ will henceforth be referred to as „Near-Frozen
Gnat’s Urine,“ except for the product of the American Budweiser company
which will be called „Weak Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine.“ This will allow
true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech
Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.
11. The UK will harmonise petrol prices (or „Gasoline,“ as you will
be permitted to keep calling it) for those of the former USA, adopting
UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US gallon, get used to it).
12. Learn to resolve personal issues without guns, lawyers or
therapists. That you need many lawyers and therapists shows you’re not
adult enough to be independent. If you’re not adult enough to sort
things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, you’re not
grown up enough to handle a gun.
13. Please tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us crazy.
14. Tax collectors from Her Majesty’s Government will be with you
shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to
1776).
Thank you for your co-operation.
