Google apparently has its spot running which I have seen and it is GOOD! I hope that there are some really good spots. The advertisers feel that they have to target the masses with these spots so I think that creativity suffers.

I am curious to see what we get this year as we know Doritos will be announcing their winner of the contest which those spots were ok, nothing that I was overjoyous about.

Thanks for dropping in again. I appreciate that.

I have to agree on the doritos rolling back over to get the bag. The head in ass I did not get it at first and even after watching it a few times and finally got it, I do not feel it is good for kids as if my kid ever said that I would not be happy. I understand the concept at this point but they could have done this so much better. The simplicity of this that men never ask for anything is ridiculous.

The man crunch will get exposure. It was already on the local news in Vegas. If this spreads there will be people coming out against the banning of this and not the pro-life spot.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. Always welcomed!

“For once, I find value in CBS for finally having a sense of responsible programming.”

O man, I wish your closing statement holds up and you don't need to revisit your view.

Suzanne,
As I spend 0 time on You Tube, I appreciate your little excerpt. Otherwise, I would not see the clips.
First, the game is the only show I tivo for the commercials only as oppose to skip them.
Second, I have to admit I am glad the above clips were not accepted. They left me completely indifferent. They are so lame! I hope I'll see more provoking ones later today.

I absolutely agree these ads should have been banned.

Children, who are exposed to enough vulgarities on TV, and idiot-people in general, are highly impressionable during the Superbowl of TV Ads. I don't want to hear an adult - and much less someone's rotten little kid - walking around telling someone they've got their head up their ass.

The moron hitting and then BACKING OVER THE WOMAN he hit with his car AGAIN to get some crap junk food is not funny; it's barbaric. It supports this monstrous attitude of "screw everyone else, it's just about what I want" that pervades society today.

The Lola lingerie ad, to Me, is funny - but I am perhaps, a bit biased! However, it promotes stereotypes of gay-male designers and "half-nekkid women" to people who are not exposed to the truth about these sexual and fetish subcultures.

I would be equally annoyed by the ManCrunch ad if it were heterosexual or 2 gorgeous women groping all over each other. With all of the dangerous, anti-gay, hate-crimes that are constant, ManCrunch should have better sense than to portray homosexuality with the shock value that the "haters" thrive on to promote their murderous agendas.

How about a little bit of dignity for a change? To be generally offensive and vulgar is not funny. It's lazy to appeal to the lowest, "common" (as in trite) denominator. True creativity seeks to inspire the best from its audience.

The news continues to show that there are far too many stupid and irresponsible people out here mimicking dangerous behaviors. To hide obvious demonstrations of irresponsible behaviors behind "a sense of humor" is the coward's way of pretending not to have the sole intention of being exploitative.

For once, I find value in CBS for finally having a sense of responsible programming.

Go Daddy: This one, according to reports, they are shocked about. I was kinda too. Even the local news showed the spot (ok I am in Vegas but ...). I think the combo of the gal in the lingerie (which doesn't Victoria's Secret have a fashion show in prime time???) and the flamboyant x-football player were too much for the network. The man crunch being banned was a clear indicator that they are not interested in supporting the gay community in any way.

Look forward to your likes and dislikes on your post. I expect to do the same.

thanks for dropping in my friend.

GoDaddy seems to always get at least one racy ad on the air every year. They must be experts at this point on getting as close as possible to the proverbial line without crossing it.
