		<description><![CDATA[I'm fairly sure this will be the one and only time I will ever say this, but I wish I had the right to vote in Finland. In what may well be the first time a Politician running for a national office has based his campaign on appealing to geeks (and not just any geeks, mind you, but geeks who understand Klingon), Jyrki J.J. Kasvi, current member of Finland's Parliament, just relaunched his website in three languages – Finnish, English and, yes, Klingon.]]></description>

Her ability to emulate Matt Groening's drawing style is eclipsed only by her ability to capture The Simpsons writers' classic wit (back when the Simpsons was, you know, funny.) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Charlie Brooker of Guardian Unlimited, we've never met. In fact, I've never read your work before today. But, mate, next time I'm in the U.K. I want to buy you a pint. Your "I Hate Macs" column is an absolutely brilliant summation of what's wrong with those Mac versus PC commercials.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, it's not the "I'd Like To Give The World a Coke" holiday commercial, but it's still good to end off our round-up of the best and worst ads from Super Bowl XLI with something a little upbeat. The folks at Coca-Cola get special kudos (and a 10 on the Geek-o-Meter) for using one of the uglier trends to come out of gaming in recent years and turn it into a Broadway show tune. All the while still staying true to the genre the ad is sending up. Nicely done.]]></description>

Really nice special effects get this truck commercial a 9 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

Well-produced commercial with nice music. Just not sure why I'd buy a GM car after what they did to poor, old Armie. It scores a 7 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

Unfortunately, I had to watch it twice before I realized what they were advertising. It gets a 5 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here at The Geek Beat, we really like GoDaddy.com. In fact, GoDaddy is our domain and server host. They offer fantastic prices and about as close to 100 percent uptime as is humanly possible for any server provider.

But why a domain and web host services company does these horrible commercials that objectify women, insult their customers' intelligence and aren't even that sexy, is beyond me.

GoDaddy service gets a 9 on the Geek-o-Meter. Unfortunately, we're rating the commercial, which gets a 2 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Garmin gets top marks for doing what may well prove to be the geekiest commercial of Super Bowl XLI. I loved this send-up of those Japanese rubber-suited Ultraman shows from the '70s; the map monster was especially fun.

Unfortunately, as a geek culture purist, I need to knock off a couple points for using an Ultraman look-alike, versus the real deal. Garmin gets a 7 on the Geek-o-Meter for bringing back such fond childhood memories.]]></description>

This is going to come if very helpful the next time I need to drive through a pair of rapidly-closing steel doors, but then stop before I go plummeting into a ravine that just happens to be on the other side.

Until then, no thanks. This stinker gets a 3 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

Although, frankly, if the auctioneer had auctioned off, say, the gifts, or even the happy couple, that might have been funnier. We give it a 5 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[here's a brilliant parody of those increasingly annoying Mac vs. PC commercials. You know, the ones where the chubby, frumpy guy (played brilliantly by John Hodgman of Daily Show fame) is the PC and the handsome, shabby chic guy (played annoyingly by Justin Long of nothing in particular) is the Mac. Frankly, I like the PC a lot better than the Mac. And, as a Mac enthusiast, I really resent having my favorite platform portrayed as having as much personality as a wrung-out dish towel.]]></description>
