Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Super Bowl

I had my Bears shirt, my wife had her Vikings shirt, and my oldest son had his Packers shirt.

Anybody think the commercials were better than the game?

Not in Canada. We got local stuff instead.

I was really looking forward to seeing Miss Piggy and Jessica Simpson in matching outfits.

I heard that channel 448 on the Bell Dish was going to run the US commercials today. Or tonight. I thought it was a little odd, but hey!

That IS odd! I'm so inured to to mentally tuning out commercials, that I missed most of them even though I was sitting right in front of the set. Can't seem to break the habit.

My Wife, who is more of a football fan than I, watched the game, and felt that perhaps the commercials WERE better than the game!

She is also a great NASCAR fan and will ALWAYS record the race so that when she's ready to watch; she can zap quickly over the commercials.

.....and past the boring "Rush-hour on the Freeway" segments of the race as well

But, in this instance, she and the kids watched the game in real-time just so they COULD catch all the commercials!

......and even did some "instant replays"

....of SOME of the COMMERCIALS!!

If I remember correctly a 30 second spot costs over $2.5 million these days. You can bet they are going to put some extraordinary effort into making the commercials...

I have never watched more than a few minutes of a football game and also did not know yesterday was THE DAY. Interesting that all I hear today is about the commercials. That'll be the day, when I watch television for the commercials.

Although in Canada I did get to see the US commercials. It was available on ABC-Detroit in HD. For some reason ABC-Seattle was carrying the version with substituted Canadian commercials. If none of that makes sense to you don't worry, it's just our government protecting us from God knows what

Thoughts:
1. CFL still rules.
2. Too bad IMHO the officiating was so poor.
C. It was nice of them to name the field after me
4. I'm so glad they protected us all by censoring the Stones "Start Me Up".
5. The best team did win but it wasn't pretty.

Wow!! If they're gonna charge that much for the time,....and pass it on to us....then I guess we'd better watch all those expensive commercials just so's we can be sure to get our money's worth!!

Think I'll add that to my New Years Resolution!

......(next year)

Seriously; the wife and kids really did enjoy a number of more elaborate and humerous ads!

I actually heard them laughing and watching them again!!

I just asked the wife which ones she liked the best?

She said she didn't have the foggiest who the sponsers were; but that the ads were fun!!

Fascinating!
Rich.
