I don’t give a Gingrich moonbeam about professional sports, but I do like to see what people say about the new commercials afterward. “What does their popularity say about cultural, marketing, or political trends?”, I want to know.
As a native Michigander and UAW kid, I couldn’t be more proud of the State of Michigan and the auto industry for its comeback. The Superbowl commercial featuring Clint Eastwood literally made me cry. For those of you who missed the commercial, here it is. Remember, three short years ago, Willard “Mitt” Romney, spoiled rich kid whose Dad used to be the Governor of Michigan, heartlessly told the world, “Let Detroit Die”.
I am grateful to the financial-vulture-turned-Presidential-candidate for issuing a challenge to the hundreds of thousands of good people in my homestate to prove him wrong… and they did. In contrast, President Obama stood by Detroit, assisting in negotiating a deal that would bring back America’s automotive industry. Three years later, not only did the auto industry pay back all of the bail-out money, they are doing remarkably well, all things considered. My own brother, a skilled tradesman, and many of the people I grew up with, are back at work. Things are starting to look up.
Here’s my vote for best Superbowl ad. What’s yours?

my favorite was the Chevy trucks surviving the Mayan apocalypse. I also liked the Audi ad with the “daylight” headlights dusting the vampires.
Thanks Nancy.
Or another of the Doritos “Crash the Superbowl” ads: Bird of Prey. Don’t remember if this one made it into the game or not.
But I saw the Doritos sling baby ad and thought that Frito Lay wasted a lot of money for that ad.
Regular people produced the ad, then people voted for the winners.
The finalists are all on YouTube. Most of them are better than what ad houses charged millions for.
Still, Frito Lay paid a lot of money to air it.
But they got millions of views of each ad during the contest. For free.
Budweiser.
One day, maybe there will a Marijuana Buds commercial, just like that one, highlighting the death of a failed, national policy.
