I used to like the Super Bowl because, as an ad major, it meant we would spend the next day watching and talking about the ads in all of my classes. (Although it’s not as if we were doing hard work on any other day of class.) Otherwise, football is the worst sport ever, and I care much more about having an excuse to eat a bunch of junk food than I ever will about any NFL team. I’m also too weirdly obsessed with pop culture to miss out on a night of potential wardrobe-malfunctions.
That being said, the game tonight was actually really good. I decided to cheer for the Saints, only because I actually knew who two of the players were (Pierre Thomas played for Illinois and Reggie Bush is dating Kim Kardashian). Whatever. Ended up being a good choice.
I also liked a lot of the ads, more than I had the past few years. Particularly, the Google one above, Dove for men, the Audi Green Police, and this Coke one. Yeeeah, advertising!
