Your live Super Bowl ad review

So I know scientific accurancy is not something that one necessarily expects from a Super Bowl commercial, but I would have hoped that at least somebody at Federal Express would have realized that there is gravity on the moon.

The first quarter is over and the game has been very fun to watch. Three fumbles, a spectacular kickoff return for a touchdown, and even a botched extra point. The commercials, though, now they have sucked...even the beer commercials. I'm sorry, an auctioneer running a wedding and a guy getting hit with a rock are not remotely funny, at least compared with classics like the streaking sheep.

And apparently gay people are not permitted to enjoy Snickers bars anymore. Sad to see in 2007 some agencies still try to sell product with homophobia. And worse then that, the ad wasn't even funny.

2nd quarter update: Finally, some good ads. The dog pretending to be a Dalmatian to get in the parade was great, so was the dreaming robot....
