Random Musings for the Week Ending February 9, 2007 – Super Bowl-Ads, Global Warming, Anna and Hugh
Again, sorry this column is two days late. Working on work projects. A relatively interesting week, though hardly news stopping. But here are my theologian style thoughts on the Super Bowl, Global Warming (week 2), Anna Nicole and Hugh Hewitt.
Super Bowl Ads – Yawn and Ick – When I say ick I am not referring to the Snickers ad with the two guys, um, meeting at the mouth. I mean simply that the ads were generally crass, boring, and overdone. For one thing, your Nationwide Insurance Company. Your customer base is people over 40, because that is who buys annuities…not people 25 and under (who are the only people who even know who, ack, KFED is). Nationwide, whoever bought this advertisement should be working washing the Nationwide blimp.
The rest of the ads were either stupid or overdone. The two ads I found most interesting – the Bud and Bud Lite commercials. The Bud Lite with the mass murderish person that the young couple picks up because he has Bud Lite – well it is very funny, but, really, if you are willing to risk your life for a six-pack, that is the sign it is time to check into a AA program.
