<p>For guys, the Super Bowl is like Christmas, New Years and a birthday all rolled into one. Aside from the game itself, all the expensive advertising seems to celebrate this most dude-centric of days. As a woman, I found it fascinating to watch what advertisers think will be appealing and to take a look at what we learn about guys from watching the Super Bowl commercials, so I bring you this list of 5 things we learn about dudes from watching these commercials.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Moving right along to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic">Denise Richards: It&#8217;s Complicated</span>.</p>
<p>It seems like the premise of the show is going to be Denise Richards trying to find love as a single mom actress in LA. Instead, it looked like the same scripted trash-fest masquerading as reality that you see on every other celebreality series on the planet.</p>
<p>In the first episode, we met Denise&#8217;s family and her two assistants. All her attempts to seem like a  down to earth celeb were pretty much ruined when she was a rude barking diva to everyone within range of her. She&#8217;s either going for an <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic">Osbournes</span> style &#8220;foul-mouthed but funny&#8221; vibe or she&#8217;s just a total bitch who likes to cuss people out.</p>
<p>What a surprise, she even had a segment where she and her assistants sat around a computer talking about all the Denise Richards celebrity gossip on the net. I think she&#8217;s overestimating her own celebrity, because Denise Richards isn&#8217;t really in anyone&#8217;s thoughts as much as she thinks she is. We have Britney Spears to gossip about, not some chick who used to be married to Charlie Sheen and was famous because she took her top off and made out with a chick in a movie ten years ago!</p>
<p>In another painfully set up running theme, Denise is set up on a blind date by her best friend. This is all intercut with a b-plot about Denise trying to find sperm to get her pet pig pregnant. I&#8217;m not quite sure what connection the producers were trying to get us to make there.</p>
<p>On her date, Denise coldly stares down the guy and snippily replies to his questions about her personal life. Then when he says he liked Matt Dillion&#8217;s acting instead of fawning over her lesbo scene in <em>Wild Things</em> she gets insulted and accuses him of being gay.</p>
<p>It feels like this Denise is trying to gear this whole production towards being some kind of career vehicle for her, but she can&#8217;t really decide what kind of character she wants to make herself. Is she a struggling single mom? A family woman who bonds with her recently widowed father? A sexpot looking for a &#8220;hot guy with a big dick&#8221;? An animal lover and pig breeder? What are we supposed to take from this?</p>
<p>The best reality shows are either those like <em>Big Brother</em> that offer genuinely real human behavior or more scripted programs with clear cut characters and plots. <em>Denise Richards: It&#8217;s Complicated</em> seems to be neither.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just not sure if this series is actually watchable. I&#8217;d compare it to <em>Keeping Up with the Karsahians</em> in that it&#8217;s just so scripted and cheesy that it&#8217;s not even worthy of the title of reality tv.</p>
