Vader Jr.

I figured that the Steelers would win. I mean come on, they are the Steelers. But I think it was really obvious that they got out played (And in reality I can't hate Green Bay too much). We still have more Super Bowls than them, so there!

That is not however what I really am thinking about this morning. Nope, its the commercials. Do you know of any other show or live sports event where the commercials are almost as important as the show/event? Sure we enjoy commercials that are fun when they happen, yet in a normal show those are few and in between. Other blogs are going to give you the ratings on last nights best and worse (If you want to know my favorite read my title), but I would rather like to state that I'm very much surprised that companies spent money on commercials that did not even try to be cool. I am not talking about the companies that tried and failed (cough Go Daddy Cough). I'm talking about the bad car commercial that is normally what would air during the day. I don't remember the car or the maker (that's kind of my point) So why spend all that money having a Super Bowl commercial if your going to be normal and forgettable. This is the one event in the year when the American population actually pay attention to commercials. You would think that this is the one time that a company would try to be interesting, funny, creative. Even if you fail, at least try!

Now as commentary on myself  I would like to state that normally I hate commercials. However, being that I like a good story and I like to laugh, if someone can create something that actually grabs my interest I will watch it. Of course I am not in the market for a car (although I like to drool over them) so anything surrounded that is kind of thing is lost on me. To be truthful, most of the things that are sold on commercials I don't really care about. Unless it is a movie trailer with Johnny Depp (Two this year, one as a pirate, one as a animated lizard). I don't have a car, and I don't need a car or car insurance. I don't like Bud (I don't love it enough to hate it). Doritos are OK, but I eat them seldom. And finally I don't drink soda. So of all the commercials that happened during the Super Bowl, very few of them are actually going to get me to buy anything if I actually buy anything because of them. Still having a little kid dressed as Vader wondering around the house trying to figure out the force was to use another commercial's tag line, Priceless.
