Super Bowl So-So ads

Well the Super Bowl is over and we did not get to see history made with another undefeated team-poor pretty boy Tom Brady. At least the game was close and good, because the commercials stunk. Was it just me or was this the worst super ad year that I can remember. I always look forward to ads to see what great concepts are out there, but this year was terrible. Most of them I went "Huh?". Others were jsut plain stupid. A few were cute. I did enjoy the Caraville-Frist commercial especially in this time of campaigning, and the Budweiser commercial with Hank the horse was cute. Otherwise, the advertisers did not get their $2 million 30 seconds worth! I wish had the money to spend like that-and that was just for the time slot, not to mention how much they paid the firms to develop and produce the commercials. That's a whole lot of Bud, Pepsi, & Coke that people have to buy to make up for it (I would like to see a stat on how much beer is consumed on Super Bowl Sunday). Did you notice that their were no presidential campaign ads? Even the politicians aren't willing to spend that much money--now that's saying something!
