Well the Super Bowl is over. I usually watch it for the ads, but this year proved the opposite. The game was the most exciting part and the ads were a terrible let-down. First, I must say it's wonderful to see the Bears lose. All season I have been wishing they'd lose whatever luck they had, but it turns out this is even better--They had the opportunity to win the Super Bowl and didn't. Too many crazy Bears fans have turned me off, so they're right next to the Green Bay Packers on my list. (I'm a Vikings fan.) And yes, I know the Vikings haven't had the best season(s), but what kind of fan would I be if I was only fair-weather?
But anyway, on to the Super Bowl ads. I thought they were a huge let-down. The majority seemed like they were about television shows and a few beer commercials. Last year, I had to write down my favorite one for an ad class I was in, and I had so many written down it was difficult to pick which was best. This year I could hardly find one. And I thought there was supposed to be a proposal during the Super Bowl as well. Did anyone else hear that? It really surprises me that more companies didn't take advantage of Super Bowl airtime. I didn't see Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Coors, Geico, and others.
