What’s with all the 3D hype?

During the Superbowl this year (kudos to Pittsburgh for the win. You guys rule!), they played so many 3D ads for movies and TV shows that I vomit a little bit in my mouth. I really cannot imagine 3D really going anywhere past the theater experience. I really have a hard time picturing my friends and me sitting in front of the TV wearing those silly 3D glasses just to watch a show, and it’s starting to really annoy me how websites and TV are hyping it up. It’s like hyping up VHS or audio cassettes. The technology is not where it should be and it’s just plain inconvenient. Advertisers should just save their money and put it elsewhere because 3D won’t be going anywhere. In a recession, you’d think people would be spending money on something more worthwhile. But then again, Paul Blart: Mall Cop was #1 in the box office for two consecutive weekends.
