Link Roundup: Super Bowl Edition!

Did any of the expensive and elaborate Superbowl ads make you want to buy anything? I mean, they’re there to be entertaining — or, in this year’s case, depressing as all get out — but important people spent mega-millions to drill into your subconscious. So, did it work? Did you reach for a Budweiser? Develop a sixth sense that you should get some insurance from Nationwide to keep your kid from dying? Realize a desire to hop in your Nissan and head to the nearest McDonald’s for some bonding time with your son?

Or maybe you’ve already converted to the Church of Scientology and are pretending you don’t know what I’m talking about. (“What, this? I’ve been meaning to do this for ages.”)

If you meant to, but haven’t realized that dream yet, ShopTV makes it easy. For only $118, plus shipping, you too can squeeze yourself into the Spanx bustier that Kim Kardashian West wore in her cute T-mobile ad.

Or perhaps you would prefer that fancy electric car? $41,350 isn’t that much for a BMW, right?

Did you instead put your pennies towards buying any of Katy Perry’s outfits from her halftime show, which ranged from Hunger Games-y to trippy to glam? Because you know you could.

Available via Delivery Agent, viewers at home with access to a Samsung Smart TV, LG TV, or Roku streaming player can click away while watching Perry’s frolicking on stage. Considering Scott’s kooky luxury wares for both his namesake line and Moschino are usually priced in the thousands, we have a feeling the king of (semi) affordable campy accessories (Exhibit A) will be creating more accessible, but no less outlandish, take-aways for the estimated 100 million viewers set to take in Sunday’s Super Bowl. Wearable Gatorade coolers with arm holes maybe?

Delivery Agent’s mandate is “to turn viewers in consumers.” Just what we always wanted.

If you saved your money, resisting all of those impulses, congratulations! Good demonstration of willpower. You deserve a Selfie Toaster. Only $75!
