INSIDE LOTTERIES E VERY once in a while, in a sincere and humanitarian effort to bridge the gap between the genders, I like to use this column to highlight scientifically significant differences between men and women. One of the major differences surfaced the other night as my wife and I sat on separate couches in our den and watched a CBS special on the greatest Super Bowl commercials of all time. Super Bowl commercials are traditionally a unifying force, because even men obsessed with football love them since they tend to focus on sportsrelated issues, such as beer, snack foods made primarily from grease, and supermodels. But, with the 49th Super Bowl bearing down on us, this special revealed there is a growing divide in the way men and women recall major historical events that helped to shape the modern world as we know it. It featured a behind- the- scenes glimpse of the making of a new Super Bowl ad for a web- development firm called Wix, in which former Pittsburgh Steelers superstar Franco Harris portrays the operator of a fictional wedding- planning company known as ( insert dramatic pause here) " Immaculate Receptions." While male readers are now laughing and nodding their heads at the cleverness of this TV ad, female readers are looking around blankly and forming the following thought: " Huh?" Which is to say I was deeply amused by the bit featuring Harris, but when I glanced behind me, my wife's face was sporting the sort of bland expression you'd expect from someone examining X- rays of their teeth. " I'm guessing that reference to Immaculate Receptions went right over your head?" I grunted in her direction. " Not at all," she sniffed in a deeply offended tone. " I've heard about the Immaculate Conception before." " No," I snorted, " I'm talking about one of the greatest plays in the history of football. I'm talking about a miracle." My wife frowned. " The Immaculate Conception?" she replied. " I'm pretty sure I'm talking about a miracle, too." I bravely muted the sound on the TV. " The ad was a joke about the Immaculate Reception ," I explained. " It was the miraculous catch Franco Harris made in the dying seconds of a 1972 playoff game to beat the Oakland Raiders." My wife was unimpressed. " That's nice," she sighed. I pressed on. " They have statues of Franco Harris all over the place in Pittsburgh immortalizing that catch," I said, warming to this vital historical topic. My wife shrugged. " Uh huh." " It was the dying seconds of the game," I droned on, as my fevered male brain replayed the thrilling moment. " The Steelers were losing and quarterback Terry Bradshaw was flushed from the pocket and he desperately lobbed a long bomb downfield." My wife was staring into the middle distance, so I talked louder. " But the Raiders' safety, Jack Tatum, collided with the receiver just as the football arrived, and the ball went sailing backwards, end over end, and began falling to the ground. With five seconds left in the game, just as the ball was about to plop dead onto the field, Pittsburgh running back Franco Harris, who had been quietly trailing behind the play, scooped it off his ( bad word) shoe tops and rumbled all the way into the end zone. " Everybody went nuts! It was the Steelers' first playoff victory ever. NFL Films picked the Immaculate Reception as the greatest play of all time. And the guy announcing the game on TV called it ' the Miracle of Miracles.' " I waited patiently for my wife to comment on this impromptu history lesson, but she just sat there looking bemused. " That's why it's such a cool ad," I told her. " A wedding planner called Immaculate Receptions? Get it?" Shrugging, my wife reached for the TV remote and turned the sound back on. " Yeah, I get it," she said, coldly, " but I don't really care about all that football stuff. I like the other Super Bowl ads." I took the bait. " What other ads?" I demanded. There was an air of superiority to her smile. " You know, the beer ads with the cute horsies and puppies," she said. " That's what people watch the game for." Which is when, with all the dignity I could muster, I climbed off the couch, scowled at my wife, and marched out of the den, nose in the air, to get myself a cold beer. Because even if you're trying to bridge the gender gap, sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand. doug. speirs@ freepress. mb. ca In the Doug House Doug Speirs Mixed reception for football ad Gender gap needs more than a Hail Mary HARRY CABLUCK / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILES Pittsburgh Steelers' Franco Harris ( 32) eludes a tackle attempt by Oakland Raiders' Jimmy Ware on Dec. 23, 1972. WINNIPEG police are searching for a suspect following an attempted abduction late Monday night. At approximately 11: 30 p. m., police responded to the 400 block of William Avenue, where a 55- year- old woman told officers of an attempted abduction. The woman was walking in the area of Harriet Street and William when she noticed an unknown man behind her. The suspect grabbed the woman and started to drag her off the sidewalk. She was able to resist the suspect before a passing ambulance stopped and scared the suspect off. The man is described as black, 20 to 25 years old and approximately 5' 7" tall. He was wearing light- coloured pants, a light and dark jacket, runners and a baseball cap. Anyone with any information is asked to contact police at 204- 986- 6668 or Crime Stoppers at 204- 786- TIPS ( 8477).
