"The GAME" Not So Underground

So, apparently this little known "Super Bowl Game" is about as undeground as MySpace or Justin Timberlake, much to Roxie's surprise. But it did hit home when I noticed that M*A*S*H (one of Rox's 'faves' if you've read the left hand side of this blog, kiddies) was referenced in the press release. Take a looksie for yourself?
