I didn’t watch the game; I cancelled cable TV two years ago and never looked back. But I have noted some of the “buzz” that most of the ads debuted in the SuperBowl were just wretched.
- Nissan’s Ad apparently sums up their pitch as “Terrible Cars for Terrible People.”
- Nationwide laid a bummer on the entire country with its infamous “Dead Kids” ad. The company is apparently just trying to latch onto the nationwide trend of fanatical, obsessive-compulsive over-parenting; the endgame of which is apparently to seal children in ‘Safety Pods’ until the age of 26, so to spare them any potentially harmful contact with the real world.
- And then, of course, the rad fems must be pleased that both Always Tampons and T-Mobile released ads on the theme of “Girls Rule, Boys Suck.” Yes, the zeitgeist of our contemporary culture is exactly the same as what eight year old girls believe it should be.
As for the game itself…
Nuff said.
I could never be a successful blogger …
… I’m too cheerful.
Apparently, from watching the ads placed during our seminal volk-giest sporting event, America hates itself.
Free the Children!, Free-Range Parenting Rocks!!
The only commercials I enjoyed were the Budweiser commercial, because it’s a Budweiser commercial with a puppy and Clydesdales, of course I like it. The other was the car commercial with the oldsters giving advice, because they actually come from an era when “American” was a badge of honor, not a slur.
Half-time show was underwhelming. The entrance on the lion was very cool, but I thought the rest was kinda boring. And did anybody else think of that “The more you know” slogan at the end with the shooting star?
I usually watch a couple of playoff games & always watch the Superbowl. Though I don’t really follow football in general. I did notice some of the adverts were propagandizing several social issues. I missed most of the ads & did hear that the Jurassic World trailer has upset a lot of parents who are inclined to, indeed, keep their children in bubbles. Something regarding graphic violence & likability combined.
I did notice, in the game, one of the players had been knocked around more than usual & the reporter said he was being taken away for new concussion protocols.
The #LikeAGirl ad sadly reinforced my view that we’re living in an emasculated culture.
Reality touches San Fran bookstore, forced to close over new higher min wage “The recent change in San Francisco minimum wage law will prevent the store from being financially viable no later than July of 2018 (at which point our payroll will have increased by roughly 39%).”

I don’t like football and generally don’t watch the Super Bowl.
I think commercials have gone way down hill and im not a fan of this new “girls rule, boys drool!” Theme.
If the roles were reversed the Verizon commercial would have had feminists out advocating boycotts everywhere. But since it dissed boys we get crickets.
On an upbeat note pampers is running pro life ads.
The comic shows why it helps to be a top if you are conservative, especially if you are the only one at the party. For the like a girl ad they should have shown the winner of the strongest woman in the world contest losing at arm wrestling to guys with arms 1/2 the size of hers at a random bar. Or #firefightlikeagirl which would be in as poor taste as the “dead kids”. Although if you go to a new gay bar and jog in place everyone will think you are a str8 guy or just coming out.
I didn’t like the Jeep ad where all the people’s of earth were so happy.
What utter rot.
Most foreign people only associate Jeep with being occupied by ugly Americans.
But those top two in pathetic were the Nationwide dead boy and the Nissan ad for absentee parents.
@JustMe: Did you mean the t-moble commercial?
Turns out there is an 11yo girl that leftists are upset about her coming out of the closet.

Oh yeah-T-Mobile (I readily confess to being an advertiser’s worst nightmare-I almost never remener the company even if I like the commercial and almost all car or cell phone company’s run together).
Either way-it was a bad commercial.
Seriously?
I’m guessing you’ve never traveled in the Philippines, where “jeep-neys” were elevated to a folk-art form as well as a practical mode of transportation.
