Superbowl commercials:
Feb. 7th, 2011 09:53 amI missed about half of them, but from the ones I saw:
1) Pepsi, exactly why should I buy your product if drinking it will lead to me or my loved ones making random assaults on cute joggers? (Bonus points for the misogyny!)
2) Cowboys. Aliens. To answer the question that was already asked, yes, I plan to be there, notebook in hand, because this will either be THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER or the GREATEST SNARKFEST OF THE YEAR, nothing in between.
3) I actually found myself sniffling a bit over the Chrysler ad. Then I remembered getting stuck in Fort Myers for hours and hours and hours and hours thanks to a Chrysler breakdown, and getting stuck in DC thanks to a Chrysler breakdown, and so on, but, um! Let's forget the past, shall we, and focus on the greatness of Chrysler's future and how this relates to skilled ice skaters!
4) I cannot be the only person UTTERLY TERRIFIED by the idea of a car that constantly transmits Facebook updates. Have the creators of that ad actually BEEN on Facebook?
(Yes, I assume you can tweak the transmission to make sure that all of the Mafia Wars and Farmville updates don't get sent along, but that still leaves an incredible amount of crap -- apologies to Facebook friends -- that I don't mind skimming through but really don't need to hear in a car. Especially since in my case it would be someone else's Facebook updates.)
(And yes, I'd feel the same about Twitter or LJ updates sent to the car.)
5) This is just me, but to the tire company suggesting that we inhabit a world filled with intelligent beavers seeking to fulfill their karmic obligations, you terrify me.
6) I love Timothy Dutton with a passion, but yeah, the Tibet ad rubbed me the wrong way.
7) I have lost whatever very very limited interest I had in buying Doritos.
8) You know, I realize that the world has a severe, but severe, overpopulation problem, but I'm not sure that throwing cute babies against glass walls and squishing them to save money is the best approach to this issue. (Bonus negative points for having the baby be so obviously a creepy doll.)
