Anyone watching the game right now? Kinda boring in the first half, but now that the Saints have taken possession from the Colts, this might turn out to be pretty interesting.

I like to think of it as Kim Kardashian vs. Kendra! I thought the game was very boring... and the commercials were very boring, although I did enjoy the Google one. I was surprised to see Monster.com and Careerbuilder up there again.

Did anyone else notice that this year's Superbowl commercials were especially sexist? I was watching with a group of guys, but even we were noticing that!

Yeah, they were sexist. It was disturbing considering how CBS refused to allow ads with homosexual content. They deemed those ads "inappropriate" but sexism is appropriate in their eyes I guess. They are hipocrites.

You know what... at first when I heard this issue I was ticked off. Yes, the company should have been allowed to air their commercial. If they had the cash then yes that's a FAIL on CBS's mistake. I do believe that the company knew they would be rejected and did it for the publicity. Which is fine in my eyes but own up to it. It just wasn't the right demographic IMO, so it would have generated a lot of hits I'm sure, but would they have been the right demographic? Highly doubtful.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
