Seattle turns that frown upside down.The Old Gray Lady has taken full advantage of its technological mastery by mapping out the tweets of various Twitter users during the Super Bowl. Aside from being kind of cool there are a couple of things worth noting. For instance, if you set the map to show only emoticons you’ll notice that the only city in the country with frowny faces at kickoff was those notoriously morose motherfuckers in Seattle (and nearby Portland). Yet by the end of the game the Seattle seems moderately happy despite a Steelers win. I assume they got really high at halftime and forgot all about that XL business. Also, Montana now has the internet. God save us all. [New York Times via Kottke]


Thanks for the update, Maj. I’m sure you’ll be all smiles the next time the Cowboys are in the Super Bowl.
Twitter is the gayest fucking shit ever invented.

So no liveblog of the Super Bowl parade on NFL Network? So far it has featured Steely McBeam, Dan Rooney sporting the ridiculous baseball cap on top of a beanie look, and color guards using terrible towels instead of flags.
To be fair, a smiley face isn’t that hard to render in smoke signals.
Hi Big Brother, how ya doing?
@Katni: To be fair, Montana also thought that the information superhighway was a construction project and applied for federal funds.
@Doc: When they did away with the no-speed-limit bullshit, they got confused and thought it also applied to the information superhighway.
Also, Montana now has the internet.
Yeah, but it’s still dial-up.
“Also, Montana now has the internet.”
All well and good, but they still do not have indoor plumbing.
“Stupid Over Hot Springs” should be their new tourism board slogan.
Hiking is fucking stupid
They decided to relive the greatness of the Olympics and spark one up for Mr. Phelps…
that was quite possibly the dumbest thing ever done.
Maybe they just took their minds off of the Super Bowl by thinking of a pre-bad foot Alexander.
