Congratulations to the Green Bay Packers upon the winning of their fourth Super Bowl title and their 18th NFL Championship.
This is only the third time that a 6 seeded team has succeeded in going all the way.
Oh, and Coca Cola had the best single commercial. I'm speaking of the animated one shown in the first half in which Coke is used to quench the thirst and dowse the fires of a fire-breathing dragon leading a horde as it attacks a fortress. Great animation.
The Bud Lite commercial featuring the very smart dogs was also pretty good.

Annoying Commercials
Any of the Direct TV commercials featuring the executive board meeting with the wise-assed-SOB. "look around people. One of us won't be here next week." Oh please, let's issue a permanent furlough for that jerk!
Any of the "Tailgate tested. Tailgate approved." Budweiser commercials. The mock TV marketeer and his asinine products. Especially the condiment commercials. Bring back the swamp lizards and frogs. Heck, lets see more of the Clydesdales in action.
Why do companies believe they can sell their products using commercials that insult the audience?
(What? Yeah, I payed attention during the last presidential election. Sure, I've heard of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and all of Mike Moore's movies. What's your point?)

Pepsi commercial
Ordinarily I wouldn't run anything showing a red, white, and blue logo in the shape of a wave inside a circle--if you know what I mean, but this is too cute to pass up. (Sent to me by much older cousins down in the Tampa area. No, they're not Italian either.)
This Pepsi commercial ran over two years ago. Ya gotta love it! (BTW, put your beverage down until the very end of the one minute spot. You can wait that long to save your keyboard. No?)
Such a sweet kid! What dimples!

Commercials
Another reason I'm not watching TV is some of the annoying commercials.
No, I'm not talking about the Sham Wow guy or the Progressive Insurance chick or even the Aflac duck. Although, they are pretty damn annoying.
No, the ones that really bug me lately are the ones for "male enhancement" and "erectile disfunction" and such. How the bloody blue blazes did folks get through life in the past without these products? And don't tell me "oysters". What does it say about a society when this becomes a major medical break through to be trumpeted on the aptly named boob tube every afternoon and evening?
Another commercial that has real raised my hackles is the one geared to reducing income tax payments to the IRS. You've probably seen it. "We owed the IRS $20,000 but only had to pay $5,000." And the couple standing in front of their opulent home that says, "We owed $3 million but only had to pay...." I don't know what they had to pay because I've usually found the remote by then and switched channels or, at least, hit the mute button. If there's anyone I have absolutely no sympathy for right now it's the person who has found a way to not pay his or her share of income taxes. Now, if there was a mistake in the filing, fine. You recover what you can. But if the book keeping is correct and you owe a certain amount...then pay it. And if someone owes millions then what, exactly, was their gross income? And what did they do with it instead of paying their taxes? Whenever I see that particular commercial I just want to squeeze the living sh*t out of those people. What I would like to do to whoever is running the ads to help people avoid their taxes I can not write about. Just in case.
