Pace on Earth

Fans

There are football fans, there a folks who are football fans once a year for the Super Bowl, and then there are the folks who only like the Super Bowl because they are fans of hyper-extravagant advertising.

We had the US broadcast at Randell's house which means we got the big budget adds and not the Cunard Restaurant (which, sadly, I could not find on youtube). It was like clockwark though; whenever the telecast would cut to commercial the roomful of nearly 20 opinionated blowhards would get eerily quiet in fear they might miss the next marketing catchphrase (Think: Waaaasssssup!!!). I don't think there was anything that changed the world but there were some pretty good ones. You can check them all out here. For my money the Tide ad won it; I think it gets less funny the more you watch it but I actually laughed out loud on the first pass:

Update: I just watched it again and laughed again...it passes.

Pace out.

PS - I am also a fan of this song:
