Super Bowl Commercials

<p>Predictable, po5. Just predictable.</p>

42

<p>Sad. America the not so beautiful. Sigh…</p>

43

<p>Before I judge them…What are they complaining about?</p>

44

<p>^ Haters gonna hate. </p>

<p>@Niquii77 : take your pick. “This is MURICA. We speak ENGLISH.” or “**** foreigners” or “I can’t believe they did this to our NATIONAL ANTHEM.” (My favorite right there.) Along with the usual misspellings and butchering of English along the way. </p>

45

<p>I didn’t like the Coke commercial. I don’t think American the Beautiful should be sung in languages other than English. It’s disrespectful.</p>

<p>I liked the Tebow ads, but T-Mobile has only a limited network compared to ATT and VZ.</p>

<p>The ads that made me want to buy products were Hyundai/Kia and Butterfinger. I wonder what Reese’s cups thinks about Butterfinger’s new product.</p>

46

<p><em>takes a seat</em> <em>bangs head against table</em></p>

<p>Like. How is it disrespectful? This country is continually driven towards freedom and the diversity of cultures and ideas. Suddenly, to sing a song about America (who prides itself on its colorful inhabitants) in the multitudes of the languages in which its very inhabitants speak in is disrespectful? No.</p>

47

<p>I think it is the opposite and a sign of great respect that Americans of different cultural backgrounds wish to honor their country. Very sad that anyone would think America the Beautiful in any language is disrespectful.</p>

48

<p>Well I don’t think it’s disrespectful. We are the only country that prides itself on being monolingual. I would wager that the folks in that ad probably speak English in addition to their native language. </p>

49

<p>I’ll say it again- anyone who thinks it’s disrespectful or thinks it’s controversial is looking for a reason to be offended. </p>

50

<p>cure.com had the best ones. </p>

51

<p>No wait – James Franco and that beautiful tiger was my favorite. </p>

52

<p>I thought the Coke commercial was beautiful. I don’t get how it is disrespectful. To praise the country in many languages, where is the disrespect? </p>

53

<p>Some food for thought, especially for anyone who found the commercial disrespectful:
<a href=“Coca-Cola's "It's Beautiful" Super Bowl Ad Brings Out Some Ugly Americans | Time”>http://entertainment.time.com/2014/02/02/coca-colas-its-beautiful-super-bowl-ad-brings-out-some-ugly-americans/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>A major point being, being or becoming American doesn’t erase everything you were or your family was before. A monoculture would not make us richer, stronger or leave us with a true history. And the choice of song? Perfect. Because America IS beautiful. </p>

54

<p>As a first generation American, I appreciated the Coke commercial. I also liked the Tim tebow ads, the car ad with the father saving his son (I never remember what’s actually being sold so I don’t remember which car co.), the VW ad, and the Radio Shack ad. I’d already seen the Doritos ads, the Beckham ad, and the puppy/horse Bud ad before the game. </p>

55

<p>I know the actress who played the mom in the Doritos commercial w the dog! </p>

56

<p>I feel like I’m the only person who just does NOT understand the appeal with Beckham. </p>

57

<p>His appeal is that his physique does justice to the male body. </p>

<p>(More justice when he was younger…but…still).</p>

58

<p>I was so disgusted with the game, that I missed the Doritoes commercial…which I understand was the highlight of the game (other than the halftime show). Hoping I can find it on YouTube!</p>

59

<p>Everything is on YouTube. The Halftime show was on YouTube before the game even ended. </p>
