It totally went viral. Too bad. I think the message was important. It was lost in sarcasm and ....-hole-ness.
If more people paid some attention to that stuff, fewer kids would die. Not that I expect everyone to be perfect, but the message (from an insurance company) was a good message.

As much as I agree with you on the merit, that ad was awful--it just wasn't appropriate for the Super Bowl. I cringed. There's time for public service announcements, but I don't think the SB is that place. Honestly--people eat, drink, cheer and just want to have fun.

I'm starting to get ticked at Comcost.

My IP address is still 1/2 the country away and all the ip->location (geolocation) services have me on the east coast. Plays hell with google news, bing, everyone. ANd Windows 8 doesn't let you set it as an override. Grrrrrrr.

Called Comcost. They are "working on it". Probably won't see you guys until 2016............... ;) :lol: jk

I can agree with that. We often use media as an escape mechanism sometimes to FORGET about how nasty the RW is for a while.

They do have a right to advertise though as long as they pay the $$$$. So yeah, I understand. But whatayagonnado?

Agree with Atty and Birdie. Just not the time or place for a commercial like that. People are trying to have fun - not be brought down. It was a good message, though. Would have behooved Nationwide (?) to air it at a different time. I still think the meme is hysterical!

Or the gutsiest--or the most clever.

We'll never know...

As it stands, couch Pete will never live down that call. :facepalm:

You can tweet that again! ;)

Hi Tibs. :)

The commercial that 'got me' was the Chevy one where they pretended to have an outage...and then the text about going to your car to stream the game. lol.
