EFFORT TO GET KENTUCKY A SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL WILL FAIL
A few guys proud to be Kentuckians launched a quixotic attempt to land a Super Bowl commercial for the Commonwealth. All they needed was $3.5 million. They launched the effort through the new online fundraising portal, Kickstarter, and were able to raise over $100,000, but still fell well short of their goal, which expires this morning. In any case, they made a fun, clever video for all people who love Kentucky.

Can the Norse knock off 2 Big East teams in 4 days?

CVG AIRPORT MAY BE STRUGGLING, BUT SIOUX CITY REALLY SUX
From an article on unfortunate acronyms:
While FAA identifiers for airports aren’t technically acronyms, the three-letter codes can give rise to their own headaches. Just ask the Sioux City Gateway Airport, which the FAA saddled with the unfortunate designator “SUX.” Airport authorities petitioned for a new code, and the FAA – and this is not a joke – offered them “GAY” as a nod to the “Gateway” part of the airport’s name.Read more funny, unfortunate acronyms from the list at:
Sioux City decided that switching to GAY probably wouldn’t save them much sophomoric taunting, so officials decided to make the best of the SUX situation. Now the airport markets playful t-shirts emblazoned with slogans like “Fly SUX.”
SUX might not even be the worst airport code. According to a 2008 LA Times story, Fresno’s is FAT, and Perm, Russia’s is PEE. The big winner has to be Fukuoka, Japan, though. We’ll let you guess how that one gets abbreviated.
