I really liked this super bowl commercial.

Best one was the halftime one with Clint Eastwood.
Funniest one was the Doritos with the baby.
-
I liked the ones with boobies in them (Toyota and Kia).
-
My favorite was the M&M's one the most.
I liked the Clint Eastwood one, except for the fact they were touting gov't motors.
The VW one with the fat dog, and the then Star Wars Catina were also good.

I don't watch commercials or listen to them. I did, however, see the one with Eastwood and was surprised that Chrysler was the sponsor. The tone of it also seemed to me to be against Obama.
The only other one I saw was the Coke commercial with the animated polar bears saving the bottle of Coke. I thought that was clever.

I loved the 1 with Seinfeld, and the 1 where the kid graduated college and his Parents told him they had a gift for him and he assumed the gift was the yellow camaro but it was actually a little refrigerator with a bow LOL.

The Polar Bear ones? Donno, but they sucked.

was the polar bear supposed to look sad in all those commercials on purpose? like he knew he was losing the polar ice cap due to global change and would soon be extinct?
kinda made for a pathetic line of commercials.
now if he was drinking Brisk tea, the ice caps would all freeze again!

:whatever:
-
Doritos "mans best friend" was the best.
Leno's jet pack flying squirrel suit was second.
I missed the Eastwood ad.
-
there were alot of chevy ads, one thing to ponder....
so each 30sec commercial cost $3.5 million to air.
$7million/minute
$420milliom/hour
$10.08billion/day
$3.67trillion/year
is it a coincidence that it that is the same as our national spending???

I look at it this way--had they changed the words, "Detroit model" for "American model" and left it at that (no Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge logos) I would have totally agreed with it.
But yeah, Steyn was pretty much on, now that I think about it, and it did kind of make me think, "Why the hell would we WANT to follow Detroit's example?"
Because let's face it--Obama's model IS the "Detroit model", and the California model, and the New York model--and they're all going down the shitter.
-
I keep watching that Fiat ad over and over.
It's genius.

From a poster on the blaze responding to a probable DUmmie saying that GM paid back their bailout.
@Bible hating, Mengele loving, tree worshiping hippie: Government Motors received $50 Billion in TARP money. $6.7 Billion was in the form of a loan, $30 Billion was used to purchase stock which made the Federal Government a majority owner of GM. The other $13.4 Billion was in an escrow account which GM could use as they pleased. Apparently, it pleased GM to use the escrow account to pay off the loan of $6.7 Billion, and “voila!“ the fine upstanding folks at GM have â€paid off†their loan of $6.7 Billion in full and ahead of time…..using OUR money and pocketing the rest. If only we all could get “loans†like that!
Back in November 2010, when GM put up its IPO at a price of $33, Obama sold off 400 million shares and held onto 500 million shares. Since then, the stock price has gone down, and currently is in the $26 range. To break even, the govt would have to sell at $53/share. In November 2011, the Treasury Dept forecast that WE THE PEOPLE (who did NOT ask to bail out GM and Chrysler) will suffer losses from the automotive bailout of $26.6 Billion. It was originally forecast to be only about half that amount. To make matters worse, a principal underlying reason that the stock has suffered even when the market has gone up, is precisely because the government owns these stocks, and investors are smart enough to realize that at some point, Obama is gonna flood the market with 500 million shares. I wonder what would happen to the US $ if the FED “sold†trilli
