Super bowl commercial

Posted on 02/07/2010 6:42:17 PM PST by backwaterball

Eco-police


TOPICS: Politics
KEYWORDS:
The last commercial break in the super bowl was a Audi add featuring Eco-police. The Eco-police arrest a guy for having the wrong kind of light bulbs and another guy for choosing paper over plastic. It actually frightened me. If were not vigilant we have only ourselves to blame

And I’m surprised Cheap Trick lent their song to it.

I was watching the Super Bowl with my son in law and I said to him, “I do not think that the spot is going to go over like they think.” It is the vision of what we fear the Greenies want and they just laid it out for us.

I thought exactly the same thing. This is what the Eco-nuts really want. I got a kick out of the cop who gets the other cop at the end for having a styrofoam cup. Reminded me a the stories you hear of kids being encouraged to rat out their parents in totalitarian countries.

This was supposed to be funny? It was a chilling vision of a possible future.

You'd be surprised how many FReepers don't find anything wrong with it. I'm on two other threads trying to explain how there's nothing funny about tyranny, whether real or satirical.

Yeah, all I could think watching that was what the hell? Now that last Doritos commercial was very funny.

The danger is that once something is introduced into the mainstream consciousness it’s only a matter of time until it has a foothold. It’s at that point where we usually start fighting. We need to recognize these things and start fighting sooner.

Right. Which is why I don't find this spot funny at all, or the Smart Balance one where they talk about how Denmark has outlawed trans fats, and the Danes think Smart Balance tastes so good it's "illegal". There's nothing funny or cute about either one.

I thought the same thing. Doesn’t anyone in advertising have a clue about how most Americans feel about the way we’re having all of this “green” crap shoved down our throats.

I thought this ad was phenomenal. Conservatives remembered it and connected it with Audi. I’m willing to bet the same is true for liberals. That was the point.

That said, I think every person watching saw what could happen if the Greens have their way here. And that scared the $#!# outta everyone but the Greens. I’m looking forward to talking with the envirowackos at my office tomorrow about it.

The Samurai one? Yeah.

I liked the bridge of people one. Original at least.

The Tebow ad was nothing for pro-choicers to get in such a tizzy over.

Not a great crop of ads. Though Madsion ave sure did a good job getting us to watch and talk about commercials every year. Normally I tune most out.
