Obligatory Super Bowl Ad Recap

[TV, Superbowl,ads]

I was hoping for a Chicago win yesterday but did like the story that the Colts took each and every employee of theirs (plus spouse) to the game. Too bad it was raining in Sunny Florida™!

Seth Stevenson at Slate has a good summary of the Superbowl ads: http://www.slate.com/id/2158974?nav=tap3.

His closing lines (with which I quite agree), 

"As for the ads: At some point, we may have to drop all this Super Bowl advertising hoopla. The ads have been roundly mediocre for a few years running, now. Some huge advertisers—including Procter & Gamble and Unilever—decided to ditch this Super Bowl entirely (with Unilever instead airing a big ad for its Dove brand during the Academy Awards).

Are we seeing the end of an era? And will we even miss it?"
