Construction company 84 Lumber seems to be deliberately looking to provoke controversy with its Super Bowl ad, which depicts a Mexican mother and daughter embarking on an arduous journey, apparently to leave their country of origin.

I thought the Hawaiian rolls one was pretty good. But most of them were forgettable. The kangaroo one was the worst (yellow tail wine)

Did anyone go to the link at the end of the commercial to see “the rest of the story”? Was it really about illegals? I thought they were going for the first Superbowl commercial entirely in Spanish award.

Was it all about illegals? Surely you jest...

English part at the end: The will to succeed is always welcome here.

An 84 year old guy marrying a 23 year old of *any* gender is,at best,a Colin Powell Republican...meaning a wolf in sheep’s clothing.


He is not running the company—daughter in charge since 1992.

That Brunner ad has blown up in their smarmy faces. Now they’re back pedaling and lying their rotten asses off.

“The will to succeed.” At what, exactly? The Reconquista? A true ad would show people of a hundred nations standing in endless lines at US Consulates filling out mountains of paperwork and then waiting years for a chance to emigrate to the US only to be jumped by illegal border crossers.

Not to mention the Anheuser-Busch commercial where they made the German purveyor of crappy beer out to be an immigrant hero.

What really frosted me tonight was that at the height of the end-of-the-game excitement, delirium, cheering, marvelous chaos and storms of confetti, Fox cut out and ran what was a minimum of a dozen commercials one after another. I thought they would NEVER END.

It was an in-your-face slap to the viewers and fans in the most crass and greedy way!

They’ve allegedly put the complete ad online. But you’re probably right. I’m hoping the silent majority is gettin’ pissed.

I read the democrats are worried that they can’t keep the protests going. Some congressman admitted it’s all planned. He didn’t say it but his admitted fears show it.

The first ever Virtue Bowl.
Where corporations from around the globe meet up and profess they're the most dedicated to left wing causes.

wish I was clever enough to have described it so well.

I think the 84lumber.com site is down.

Can’t get on it to see the conclusion of the Ad.

Yeah, kinda looked silly on that one. I tuned out until I saw they were down by two scores and I started think they just might have a chance.

I’ve been up north near the UP with my son snowmobiling and we were trying to listen online driving through northern Indiana to Indy to spend the nite

It was stunning

Brady marshaled the team

Not many new QBs do that today
