Let The Game Begin








CURRENT STATISTICS - (Gametime)


WINNERS: 4

FLAGS: 3

LOSERS:3

Ford GT II




LOSER- Professional Driver on a Closed Course- This ad cost them $150 bucks instead of the quater of the first. Congrats on that one tire you burned. This car ad could at least be the "Pace Car for Low Budget Advertising"


Pizza Hut - 4 for All




FLAG- Kermie loves Jessica- This is an amazing new idea, that Pizza Hut needed to think of years ago. Families everywhere will give a salute to the peace this Pizza brings. But this is a review of the ad not the product. Positive - Animal & Kermie------ Negative - Miss Piggy, Jessica Simpson, plot ------ Overall - It's not easy being...

McDonalds




WINNER- Laundry Honey- I have just three words about that ad, "I'm lovin it!" Hey honey, Ella and I both want Mickey-D dryer sheets from now on. I know it's early, but this could be an MVP contender.

Tostitos




FLAG- Games On- On the funny scale, I'd have to give that a six. A wedding theme is always a little funny, but that was nothing original. let's hope things try and get a little better than that.

Ford GT




LOSER- Ford - Spend No Money- Hey, what if I have NO MONEY and want to make an ad for the Super Bowl, can I do that. Although previous to the junk that Ford just put on the screen I would have said no, I must however now retract and say, "Well if the big boys can do it, so can you." That must have cost a quarter to produce. One word Ford - "BOO!!!"

Real California Cheese




WINNER- - Real California Cheese had a great ad with the happy cows. You know me, and my love of cheese. With only about 20 minutes left till game time, I think this is proabably the FIRST ad we have seen by a new product (or industry in this case) wanting to make themselves a household name. I wonder what Wisconsin thinks of their new friends from the Sunny West coast.



Priceline - Shatner/Nimoy Faceoff




FLAG- Priceline Shatner/Nimoy- The highlight of this ad was thinking Shatner was finally getting to boot. If I don't see the Captain's face again Priceline will go up 2 notches in my book. I am anxious to see how the first officer does.

Wachovia Fashion Show




WINNER- Wachovia Securities- This was An AWESOME ad! Very funny. I could not have imagined an ad with a fashion show and college planning together, but they pulled it off with GREAT results. Go Wachovia.. I hope to see more great stuff like this from you as the night goes on. That ad was at least a fieldgoal... Now bring it back for the toughdown






1 Hour Till Gametime








CURRENT STATISTICS - (1 Hour Till Gametime)


WINNERS: 1

FLAGS: 0

LOSERS:1

Inteligent Life on Mars



LOSER- CBS- CBS' own Inteligent Life on Mars ad was an insult to the intelligence behind the legitimate science of Mars exploration. This ad showed about as much wit and intelligence of a 4th grade playground dirty joke. Concerning this ad I'd say CBS stands for Childish Broodish and Stupid.

3 Hours Till Super Bowl of Ads



Only 3 hours till the games begin! Remember, if you want that great deal from Dr. Kaos ministries we must recieve an email after the third quarter and before midnight on Monday letting us know what your favorite ad. Please also, use the comments tool to participate in the ads during the game.




WINNER- The Pregame Show included a LONG ad from 989 sports. This was a DEFINITE win! It included footage of the host providing commentary as if you were playing their Gameday 2004. There must be Kudos to 989 Sports for their GREAT work on this ad. It should also be noted that their 8-0 record in the Game before the Game is being put on the line tonight as the Panthers are slated to win.

Church remembers Columbia Tradgedy

Today is the aniversary of the death of the seven austronatus of the Columbia. Grace Community Church in Houston, Tx held a special service honoring the families of the lost seven astronauts.
I have fond childhood memories of the first launch of Columbia. I stood on the banks of Cocoa Beach in 1980 when the Columbia first left earth's soil. I just wanted to encourage people to pray for these families as they remember the tradgedy that lost their family members.

New Commenting Feature


In light of the Super Bowl of Ads tonight, I have added this new commenting tool. You can place your thoughts about the ads back to us. In the future the feature wil of course remain in place and therefore serve as a great tool to the visitors.

Netrix - I will never buy from you again!

Several years ago I bought a Cisco router from a small local company. A few years after that they were bought by Netrix LLC and I was given a new salesman from this company.

This salesman would keep me from EVER buying from these people again. He CONSTANTLY sends me e-mail I have never asked for, updates old proposals I am not trying to purchase anymore, and spams me with every new virus his techs send him an email about.

I just don't understand a company that instead of learning the preferences and needs of their custmoers just floods them with useless information. This is such a pet peeve to me. You need to learn from your customers, or you won't have any.

This final blow, (three copies of the same stupid virus warning that any idiot who watched the news would know about, let alone a person who keeps up on tech news, because that is their job) could have been avoided by a simple act of ASKING this customer a question.
