I got the frito lay ad, and they were advertising their expanded line of hot chips.

But some of that crypto, home testing, new websites, I did not understand, nor even get the company name. Seemed like they were trying to squeeze a 30min plot into 30 seconds rather than let the product be the star.

Cameras have had light filters for a hundred years, I didnt know they selectively only filtered for white people.

Willie Nelson, a testament to heavy pot use will make you live to be a 100....but you aint gonna like the way you look.

A song from Jefferson Airplane from 1967 to advertise some cutting age tech is relevant to youngsters?

Even the clydesdale horses are now diverse and had to have a dog starring with them.

All that shite about girls playing football with boys was just pandering to the lowest common denominator.

This isn’t new.

IIRC, the 90s tech boom created a lot of startups with so much money on hand they made Super Bowl ads about having money coming out of their arse. Then the crunch happened and nearly all of them went bust.

You've seen Willie pre pot, right? Don't think the weed needed to help much there.

That COVID at home testing is the one that got me. That poor kid in the ad, celebrating that he is COVID negative. I honestly felt like that this was a scene from one of our dystopian movies like Running Man or Robocop. I read somewhere that, not only do you have to buy this device for 250, that it’s a subscription service as well, to the tune of 35 per month. I wonder how many leftists have this pre-ordered?

Tell me again that this is about my health. Yeah right…

Robocop is appropriate.

That one had some Super Bowl level commercials such as the sunblock which has to be applied as a pint to block UV rays (but is carcinogenic itself) or the telecommunications ad of the guy who lost an account due to unreliable communications service and killed himself.

Corporate America is so hellbent on trying to outwoke each other that they have forgotten how to actually advertise a product

Call out the ones that said they wouldn't watch. Bring your receipts.

I am. They know who they are. Also the ones who bitch and cry about exactly what goes on during an NFL game, like a separate anthem, but still watch. Now they can bitch and cry for another month.

The girls football was touching wasnt it. You have homeless people shooting up, shatting all over the street, and crime out of control....but my girls are playing football. Nice priorities.

Super Bowl was only my second game all year. Watched 2nd half of AFC championship. I had sound down and honestly couldn't describe any of the commercials even if you put a gun to my head. Didn't watch halftime either. Watched a DVR episode of Mountain Men. The game was interesting though. I was kind of pulling for Burrow but really didn't care who won.

That one made me so angry! Right now we have males, Lia Thomas, swimming against females and breaking all the records. There is now a push to get him disqualified from swimming against females. Why? Because males are stronger, faster, and will always beat females in an athletic competition.

Then you have these unrealistic social propaganda about girls being just as good as boys. They aren't. Just stop, you are setting girls up for failure.

Last year Scott’s Lawncare had a stupid arse commercial about “maybe one day girls will be allowed to play in the NFL” bullshite. I went to their twitter page and fricking went off on what a stupid fricking idea that was. The girls would get destroyed. They do t even think about how fricking stupid their ideas are anymore. It’s all about inclusion. A woman wouldn’t last one series before being toted off the field on a backboard.

Yeah - I did see that. Kind of in your face diversity statement.
