Maybe we should just call this the Is TechCrunch Full of Shit Blog.
In a characteristic jumping to conclusions, MG Siegler somehow lands on the assumption that Google will have a Super Bowl commercial maybe about the Nexus One.
How did he get there? Based on nothing more than this tweet from Google CEO Eric Schmidt:
Can’t wait to watch the Superbowl tomorrow. Be sure to watch the ads in the 3rd quarter (someone said “Hell has indeed frozen over.”)
Maybe that’s a hint that Google will have a Super Bowl commercial. But maybe it’s not.
Maybe it means he expects the Saints will be kicking so much ass by the third quarter that the only entertaining part will be the commercials. Or maybe he got to watch the commercials beforehand, and his favorite one is a Budweiser short where a guy says, “Hell has indeed frozen over,” before getting hit in the balls with a croquet mallet.
As you might have noticed, this is not TechCrunch’s (or Siegler’s) first appearance on the watch list since we launched. Three days ago. Indeed, there’s no shortage of (Siegler loves that phrase, by the way) MG crap we have to look after.
In a comment on his post, Siegler responds to a reader commending his speed writing (14 minutes from tweet to post), saying, “They don’t call me ‘machine gun’ for nothing.” Try spending more time aiming and less spraying bullets haphazardly.
We’ll know by tomorrow whether TechCrunch’s conclusion was right.
