For all the hype, this year’s Super Bowl – from commercials to the half time show – seemed to be a letdown. At least Green Bay fans had a good Monday morning…
@cheeky_geeky: Football really puts me in the mood to buy domain names. And by “domain names” I mean “junk food”. #sb45
@cityshopgirl: Just saw @groupon suberbowl commercial. Cuba Gooding JR. Really?#fail #hasbeen
@ebongeka: I’m speechless about the @kimkardashian #SketchersShapeups commercial!
@topshelfwbj: If I could get Black Eyed Peas out of my head, this day could only get better, right?
#Egypt: While everyone wondered #reasonsmubarakislate & #whymubarakislate to address the world from Tahrir Square on Thursday, Kenneth Cole came under fire for using #Cairo in a tweet to promote his new spring collection.
@KennethCole: Millions are in uproar in #Cairo. Rumor is they heard our new spring collection is now available online at http://bit.ly/KCairo -KC
@KABOBfest: You think it’s easy packing gold bullion bars into vintage Louis Vuitton luggage? #ReasonsMubarakIsLate
@HosniMobarak: #reasonsmubarakislate: I’m aiming for an Oscar for the best suspense movie.#Jan25 #Egypt
And speaking of fake Twitter accounts, Wednesday’s The New York Times gave us a great new game to play during our lunch breaks: “Who said this on Twitter?”
@nytimes: In D.C., @FakeJimVandeHei @DCJourno @HosniMobarak and other fake Twitter accounts get real laughs http://nyti.ms/hPdPmZ
@dcjourno: For younger tweeps who haven’t heard of it, NY Times was the nation’s most respected publication before Politico began

The Washington Press Club Foundation’s Dinner (#WPCF) brought Members of Congress and members of the press together for a night of dinner and jokes (including some about the recent Rep. Chris Lee scandal) at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
@emilyaheil: Don’t you hate it when you show up at a party wearing the same thing as a member of congress? I do! #WPCF http://t.co/NNZMIlM
@kensands: Jake Tapper at #wpcf already telling Chris Lee jokes: “give you the shirt off his back.”
@cbellantoni: [Sen. Chris] Coons on tiny Delaware: “It’s not the size of your state it’s how you use it, especially in the Senate.” #wpcf
As Conservatives gather in D.C. this week for #CPAC, our Twitter feeds are full of Sen. John Kyl, Rep. Paul Ryan, former Gov. Mitt Romney, and… Donald Trump?
@cheeky_geeky: If @realdonaldtrump becomes President, can we get @NancyODell as social secretary?
@kellyanncollins: Spotted: Former RNC chair Michael Steele jamming out to “Damn, wish I was your lover.” #CPAC via @fishbowldc @kelleropolous
