    This spot, and a Broncos QB saying "Omaha!" is ruining my football Sundays.

    Yup, yup, yup. Is a good spot, but like so many ads, just overplayed. And the ad shows a banner for what year the class reunion is for, I believe. I think she'd be pretty close to 70.

    I don't particularly loathe the Target commercial with the kids and the stormtroopers other than it's not meant for a 32-year-old with no kids. But I do think they missed an opportunity by not having the stormtroopers look at the kids in disguise and say, "aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper?" I don't care if the kids just say no or if they use a Jedi mind trick to get away, just saying that line would make me love it.

    We've reached the point where we see more TV spots for products with an endorsement deal for a movie than a spot for the movie itself. This fall, I have seen more ads for Heinekin, Target, cars, etc. that tie into Star Wars, Specter, and Mockingjay 2, but not the previews for the actual movies. I have to go online to see movie previews.

    I'll take the Star Wars car ads x10 over the Lexus snow-globe ads in which the wealthy parents explain to their kids that Santa delivers new cars to all the world's deserving families.

    Fuckabuncha

    What do you get if you didn't deserve a new Lexus? A puddle of gas in the driveway?

    I thought there was something horribly wrong with pimping a luxury vehicle during Mockingjay 2. A movie rebelling against fascist opulence targeted toward teens who couldn't possibly afford that kind of car seemed woefully out of place.

    A used Saturn Ion with a twitchy ignition switch and a defective airbag.

    A little surprised to see a commercial for "Concussion" during the NFL games yesterday.

    Eh. That money spends the same.

    I want to be upset with how the new Brett Favre shaving commercial characterizes reporters at a press conference, except I think we've all been next to that dipshit reporter at one time or another.
