An enormous factor that plays into the number of viewers for The Super Bowl is the commercials; they are often very entertaining and usually funny. However, these endorsements are often very sexist and filled with logic fallacies.

There are some jokes such as explaining "Sandy" is a unisex name that is used too much as if it will become funny at one point but never really breaks through. The story line sticks through the movie and contains some twists that were suprising and entertaining.

10th October, 2012 Rhetorical Analysis of “Idiot Nation” When thinking of the United States one would conjure up imagines of happy people, greener grass, freedom, and of course, opportunity. However, an uncommon thing that one would think of America as a land of dumb people. Yes, that’s right, Americans having less than average intelligence. In “Idiot Nation,” Michael Moore offers a convincing argument on America’s stupidity and inadequacy by employing logical as well as emotional appeals and harsh diction to drive his point home. Moore does a great job connecting to his readers by using satire and humor to make his point, but does not sway from the seriousness of the subject by embedding facts about education.
