Would you rather go to the Cannes Film Festival or the Super Bowl?
 
Please vote.

Parrot Head 09-07-2007 03:47 AM

Because of the location and because you said "please," I went with the first.

In other words, spend two weeks in a foreign culture while watching a variety of genres, or spend just as much money for two nights in an inflated hotel with a $600 ticket to a four-hour game surrounded by a bunch of drunken white collars who don't really care about either team.

That's why I cast my vote for the Super Bowl.

After the way Medellin was received at Cannes, I have no interest in that festival.

I'm sorry, I'm a little late in adding, that this poll was meant to be an idiot test. Sorry, I forgot to say that.

Thanks for that. I was confused as to how I should vote.

I thought you were testing your gaydar.

YES!!! Looks like I passed.

TheSizzle36 09-07-2007 05:47 AM

Although I've never been, rumor has it they give out TONS of free schwag at the Super Bowl. Good stuff you'd want too.

I'd love to go to a Super Bowl someday.

I loathe pro football, but film is interesting to me. Plus, there could be some foreign hot women in Cannes. Have you been to Cannes? Sometimes the Super Bowl is in a boring city, like Miami.

Donuthole 09-07-2007 02:50 PM

The Super Bowl is played on Sunday, so I couldn't attend without breaking the Sabbath. Accordingly I would choose the film festival, but I would make sure I didn't go to any films on Sunday.

bullshit

jay santos 09-07-2007 03:11 PM

I'd probably rather go to the film festival, but I'm afraid to vote and look like a wuss.

If I could sell the Super Bowl tix, I'd rather have those.

Cannes films aren't that interesting. Just a bunch of indie flicks with pale anorexic women having unpleasant sex. Food is sometimes involved.

Clark Addison 09-07-2007 03:19 PM

I believe that there are a lot more topless women in Cannes.

If that's your criteria, skip Cannes and head to Namibia.

Indy Coug 09-07-2007 03:44 PM

50% of you are complete nerds.

JohnnyLingo 09-07-2007 04:24 PM

I sincerely hope some of you are kidding with your answer.

Something tells me the Cannes group could whup the Super Bowl group in a street fight.

Mormon Red Death 09-07-2007 05:45 PM

going to the cannes film festival and its not even debate...

Lets see going to Detroit, Jacksonville or Kansas city in February versus the south of france ... hmmm

FMCoug 09-07-2007 06:13 PM

You guys are scaring me.

non sequitur 09-07-2007 10:18 PM

I've been to Cannes (not to the film festival), and once you get used to all the saggy-breasted grandmas and hairy, squirrel-packing dudes in speedos, it's a pretty cool place.

SteelBlue 09-07-2007 10:20 PM

Anyone who picks the Super Bowl here is insane. Why would you forgo a trip to Europe for 4 hours in some US city that you can see anytime? All to catch a game that is much better on TV than it is live. Let's face it, the atmosphere at a Super Bowl is mainly corporate. The true fans aren't there.

Yes indeed. In about three minutes, cowboy.

I'll take that challenge.

Who wants first shot?

Jeff Lebowski 09-08-2007 12:26 AM

This was an easy choice for me. I love college football but I have zero interest in the NFL.

I'm not a fan of the NFL really, but I hate movies more than I do the NFL. Besides, after having been in the south of France before and spending time in Sicily which kicks France's ass in every way, I'd rather experience the Super Bowl.

SeattleUte 09-08-2007 03:48 AM

Tell me this. Which side has the chicks? They Cannes guys have all the chicks.
