Super Bowl Ads

Like millions of Americans, I watched the Super Bowl on Sunday. I'm not a sports fan, and had only a lukewarm rooting interest in seeing the Packers win, but I did watch. Also like millions of Americans who only watch one football game a year, I paid attention to the ads.

Now, I thought the GM and Chevy ads were very good, except for the nursing home one, but in my mind the standout ad was Eminem's Chrysler commercial. At 2 minutes, it's way too long for TV (but it's ideal for YouTube) and I am no fan of Eminem or Chrysler. Having said that, I am a fan of the American car industry, and this ad was a big sloppy love note to that industry.

Good on Detroit, Chrysler and Eminem.
