NFL Has Babies Sing About the Night Their Parents Boned

The NFL finds itself irresistible.

The NFL has created an ad for its signature event, Super Bowl 50, and the general premise is: children who were conceived on the night their teams won a Super Bowl sing a song about how great football is because their parents had sex. The participants range in age from toddler to adult, and they are joined by recording artist Seal—the song is set to the tune of his hit song "Kiss From a Rose," featured in the film Batman Forever—to toast the concupiscence of winning football. "So Super, it's why we were born." I honestly find it more upsetting than catching a fleeting glimpse of Janet Jackson's nipple.

Hilariously, as you can tell, this is one of the only NFL YouTube videos that we are capable of embedding. Oh, the NFL has plenty of videos on its YouTube page, but if you want to share, say, Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski's hook up for an amazing, possible game-changing catch late in the AFC Championship, or a highlight reel of Cam Newton's NFC Championship Game performance, the NFL isn't so generous.

So, there's your NFL in a nutshell. An advertisement for how great it is, featuring babies singing about sexual intercourse? By all means, share it with the world! But actual proof of how great it is, featuring, you know, the games? Disabled by request.
