Oh let me guess the second half of the ad she makes a flag out of all the little pieces of material she gathered which happened to be red white and blue this is the part where we’re supposed to say oh welcome come to our country take everything we have will pay for it all. Seriously these ads like anything he is so predictable you can write the script fill in the blanks nothing original give me a break

The deadline for ad submission must have been Nov 1, and the revenue was booked, no refunds.

There’s not a lumber company in the country that makes 2x4’s anymore.

Mexican immigration law is way more harsh than our laws.

I guess they are going after the illegal alien carpenter market.

Why do lumber yards even advertise?

RE: 84 Lumber’s ad in Super Bowl

It is time for the 62.9 million Americans, who voted for Donald Trump to use their considerable economic power.

If most of those voters decided to boycott 84 Lumber, Nordstrom, Follywood or whom ever, we will have a huge impact.

Do we want to be insulted or ever need anything from/by: 84 Lumber, Nordstrom’s, Follywood Liberals, or any of the these Never Trumpster losers like Kelloggs, the NFL, ESPN, Macy’s, ”The Cast of the Hamilton/Broadway liberals, the ABCNNBCBS, New York Slimes, Compost, Starbucks, Alec Baldwin/SNL,, Penzey’s Spices-owner Bill Penzey, MGYN Kelly, Garrison Keillor, The Washington ComPost Not News Service, Michael Shannon/ “Nocturnal Animals” the BushCo thugs, Compost, Grub Hub, Pepsi-Co, Hollywood, the lying pollsters, faux phoney news, all the left wing mediots/fish wraps, and other Never Trumpsters, listed below in our lives like Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James/?

3. GOPe radio talk show hosts posing as conservatives.
4. Overpaid NFL jerks, NFL games, pre games, post games and NFL endless prattle.

To all saying they won’t support these companies, you just did by watching the ads.

It is racist and due to White privilege that they charge anything to anyone of color. Those who are not White should make an arduous journey to their store and take everything they need because it would be racist to force such people to pay.

“Just saw the Audi commercial too.Feminist hogwash about the gender wage gap. What’s the matter with these idiot companies? Pathetic.”

No kidding! Equal pay for equal work...how noble of them - except it’s ALREADY the law and happens every day all over this country!

Looking at their website, I notice their board of directors is six white guys...so maybe they could start practicing what they are preaching!

The end of the Audi Commercial had the graphic, “equal pay for equal work”. Sounds good to me.

The rest of the Commercial was just blather.

At this point I don’t think anyone other than Die-Hard Falcons fans are watching the game.
