I think the game is still going on, and its still the 4th of February. Odd that they would be so quick to get this story/shrewd social commentary/propaganda out at this time. But then again, maybe not.
>>directly addressed Iraq,
One ad for Prudential kept saying "a rock, a rock"...
so that almost sounded like "Iraq"... :)
NYTimes is channeling stupid.
I did notice that the first couple ads were "violent", and although they were suppose to be slapstick they werent funny. But that didnt have anything to do with the war. Thats ridiculous. This guy should be a laughing stock at the paper.
I thought the ads were pretty bad. And they really overdid it with race. I wondered why, but then remembered that this super bowl has two black, er, I mean, african-american coaches.
Best ads were: the hitchhikers, grand theft auto (for Coke), and GoDaddy.
Boring ads. This writer wanted to see Iraq in the violence. What else is new at the NYSlimes?
They see every thing with Iraq-tinted glasses over there. Must be a depressing life hoping for our failure in Iraq and trying to undermine their own country here at home.
The "Homosexual Snicker Candy Bar" ad was atrocious. My kids were totally grossed out.
I wonder the NY Slimes thinks of that ad? Since they hire sooooo many gays, I am sure they approved. When the two me mutilate their chest hair at the end of it, was that a reflection of the war also?
Pathetic.
Who writes these commercials? Ten year olds?
Last night?
Talk about pulling MSM pork out of a can.
It was as if Madison Avenue were channeling Doc in “West Side Story,” the gentle owner of the candy store in the neighborhood that the two street gangs, the Jets and Sharks, fight over. “Why do you kids live like there’s a war on?” Doc asks plaintively. (Well, Doc, this time, there is.)
This writer is either on drugs or lives in some type of fantasy land
I actually posted earlier how much the ads "hurt" - but I certainly didn't think it had anything to do with the war in Iraq!
It seemed to have more to do with the anger management issues of the creators of the ads.
It was truly "out there" in the first six breaks of the game, as I watched them. I'm not anti-violence or especially sensitive to silly commercials - but this group of ads, some of them back-to-back, all of them having some sort of one-on-one personal harm being done, really "hit me" wrong.
Just mroe proof the liberal agenda is pervasive in every department. This was an 'ADVERTISING' article.
I liked the peaceful Grand Theft Auto world Coke ad
and
The office workers gladiators battle
Real story is that every advertising agency wants to be "edgy," but nobody wants to be the next Janet Jackson. Thus all the violent ads. Yet the most memorable ad, in my view, wasn't even mentioned in this story. It was the Letterman=-Oprah one, and it was a real jaw-dropper.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
