I liked that one. I hadn't seen it before.
I wonder if the advertisers are blowing this one off since the teams aren't from the coasts.

It seems to me I heard or read a story about how the spectacular ads of past Superbowls have been recently re-evaluated as not very cost-effective - they got your brand buzz, maybe, but didn't generate the revenue needed to cover the cost. Or maybe that was about the per minute prices going down this year. But there was some perceptual change recently.
Whoo!

I was hoping the Bears would win, but since they played so crappily, they sure as hell didn't deserve to.
Only good thing was that I won that money--most I've ever won betting!

I guess that depends on how they are defining "great." I understanding re-thinking the budgets though.
