If the war in Iraq is to blame, it's been going on a long time.

No commercial that appeared last night during Super Bowl XLI directly addressed Iraq, unlike a patriotic spot for Budweiser beer that ran during the game two years ago. But the ongoing war seemed to linger just below the surface of many of this year’s commercials.
More than a dozen spots celebrated violence in an exaggerated, cartoonlike vein that was intended to be humorous, but often came across as cruel or callous.

If the war in Iraq is to blame, it's been going on a long time.
Perhaps the guy throwing a rock at his friend so he could get the last beer was telling.
He threw a rock....arock....iraq....
Don't mention the War!
I thought the GM/Chevy ads were in very poor taste.........
I kind a liked the robot who lost it's job and ended up jumping off a bridge.
What gets me about this is how the NY Times believes everything is about the war.
CRAZY!
Interesting note: This article was posted last night on NYTimes, while the game was still going on, with todays date on it.
You saw it then?
Didn't you read the article?
It was so obvious that the robot jumped off a bridge because of the war. Anyone can see that. /sarc
For crying out loud! NYT cannot be serious about this.
But happily, it was only a bad dream . . . :)
You can say that again......
I thought the Jessica Simpson Pizza Hut ad was all about Iraq, did you not see the subliminal message..the limo the poor pizza..come on are you people blind!!
These fools are so self contained in their liberal echo chamber at the NYT, they seem to really believe this poop. I can't believe that anyone could write something so absurd without belief.
There's got to be a limit to what a sane individual can say with a straight face... Isn't there?
The blockbuster add with the rabbit trying to turn on the computer with real mouse caused me to about bust a gut..
Was that warlike?
LOL - how many folks are they going to lay off THIS quarter?
What a stupid 'reporter'.
The snickers ad made me puke.
but when the poor robot was reduced to working in a fast food joint, the restaurante association didn't get their panites in a wad like some "other" commercial.
I, for one, was glad it was just a dream.
Agree, the Snickers ad should have been two women.
The NYT is a pitiful, yellow rag not fit to line the bottom of a bird cage. What a bunch of disgusting, self-absorbed pukes. Journalists?? Not hardly!! Merely dark shadows of what used to be a noble profession in a previous age. Sad.
