Super Bowl Ad Cash Grab

The Super Bowl ad cash grab is well underway and the advertisements that we will all be mesmerized by this February 4th are almost all in place. Advertising Age already has a list up of who has bought what for the Super Bowl (of money). Of course, in light of the Janet Jackson scandal a lot of companies are obviously taking it upon themselves to make sure their ads are "kid friendly". Of note:
  • Anheuser-Busch has the most ad time so far at an astounding 5 minutes of ads. The Super Bowl and FCC are all about keeping nipples away from the young impressionable minds of our children...but we can sell the shit out of some beer to them!
  • GoDaddy will have three spots featuring the always hot Danica Patrick. Who knows what the hell they sell...i'm guessing sex or cars. Kids need both.
  • GM has bought 3 ads. Chevrolet has two of them. That means the kids will always know that This IS Ourrrrrrrrrrr Counnnnnntry.
  • Boehringer Ingelheim's Flomax...really, need anymore be said? Think of the kids people!!

See the whole list here - Advertising Age
