And I’m not complaining about this one bit.

The Super Bowl was on Sunday, obviously, and while the tanks battled the pwnies, I tuned in for the commercials, none of which more hilarious than Garmin’s spot, which was straight out of the spirit of Japanese kaiju movies and tv-shows like Godzilla and Ultraman and Kamen Rider, complete with giant evil map-monster, and Garmin-clad superhero who uses his device to transform and then defeat the monster with his awesome GPS powers:

How cool is that?

update: In case anyone was interested, there’s a 2-minute plus music video featuring the artist behind the music of the Garmin commercial, plus extra shots of Garmin Man kicking Maposaurus’ butt, along with-of course-more hilarity. Check it out:

I know, I know, this kind of digging is what Garmin wanted me to do, but you know what? I really don’t mind so much, it’s worth it. Did I mention that both Maposaurus and Garmin Man are on MySpace?
