superbowl commercials
superbowl commercials on youtube. there are 51! (I suspect some are duplicates, but didn't bother confirm). nothing spectacular, but a few are ok:
- Kevin Federline for Nationwide. KF is gross, but he ends up in fast food, which is ok.
- eTrade bank robbery. everything just happened so fast!
- Toyota Tundra. It drives over a see-saw! and they say the word "tranny" in an entirely-too-reverent tone.
- Doritos spicy/cheesy/crunchy/bold. contest winner. cost $12.79 to make. slate says, "...bad news for highly paid advertising professionals. Get ready for a whole lot of sub-$15 ads," which is dumb because not only did the kids who made it not have to pay people/rent things/etc, but doritos paid to hold the contest. while I'm all for the idea of people making media just with resources available to normal people, it's really inaccurate to say the ad cost $12.79 to make. It's like saying brownies don't cost anything to make, because there is already brownie mix in the pantry and eggs in the fridge.
