I take back my melancholy sentiment in my previous post. I love football and I love the Super Bowl. Its easy to love a game as entertaining as that one.
Quick Super Bowl commercial analysis:
Tiny Darth Vader Passat isn't nearly as cute in 30 second format.
Eminem's "This is Detroit" ad was confusing but slick, but what really, really hurt it in my mind was his prior ad where a claymation Eminem was shilling for canned Ice Tea and pretended to be hardcore about it. Kinda kills the power of the "Detroit" ad.
Groupon's "Tibet" ad was tasteless and offensive, but maybe that's what they were going for. This could blow up for them in a good way or a bad way. And hey, maybe its an attempt to hold up a mirror to our culture and its whishy washy sentiments. Today there are plenty of boycott calls on Groupon, but we'll see if they last until the next great deal comes along.
Budweiser and Bud Light need to stop. We get it, at this point its just a prestige thing to have 8 different commercials during the broadcast, even though you only have ideas for 1 or 2 at the most. The best one I can remember was the "product placement" one.
Chevy's "Lassie" commercial was funny.
All the movie commercials: meh to very meh. Except for "Cowboys & Aliens". Its got cowboys, aliens, Olivia Wilde, James Bond and Indiana Jones in it. You just sold a ticket.
Goodbye football. Goodbye NFL. Go take some time for yourself, straighten out your demons, and come back to us real soon.

Hello March Madness!! Get ready for it! Never disappoints...
Never? What about last year when Duke won?
How is that disappointing!??? That was awesome...BABY!!! Actually now that i think about it, the only disappointed part of march madness is that Dickie V, the best annoucer ever (in my personal opinion) is able to take part. Come on CBS and ESPN....make a truce and just let him do it!
Wow, guess I hit a nerve. And CBS doesn't need Dickie V, they already have Gus Johnson. You can't have them both, it might make the universe implode.
