Superbowl Challenge
It occurred to me that people may forget just how awful this year's superbowl commercials were. The chest-hair ripping, suicidal robot, and old Coke commercials were utterly worthless, and those who spent their time, stayed at the office late, wasted part of their lives putting them together. Madison Avenue should be kicking their own asses when a user-generated commercial beats their stuff out, except for the Fed Ex and the Bud Lite commercials.
I want to challenge everyone to remember this next year. Advertisers should be given an oppurtunity to recant. In the event that they do so, and the commercials are decent, then pardon them, and do what you usually do. If another series of commercial breaks matches last year's superbowl, then screw the commercials. If any of them are actually any good you can check them out on YouTube anyway (I don't think any advertiser will complain that people are watching their copyrighted commercials). Then nothing bad will happen.
In the event, however, that the commercials are as bad or worse, then it is time to realize that just like any other commericials, Superbowl commercials are useless and should just be skipped. Flip through the channels instead. If you're not a football fan, then you have 4 hours of your life back on a Sunday night. But you'll probably waste it, by reading this blog, or watching good commercials on youtube.
