Superbowl Ad Malfunction
This message is brought to you by 1and1.com
The Superbowl was mediocre. The metric I'm using here were the commercials. Ever since a couple years ago when people had money to spend on stupid ideas and animals the overall quality of commercials and the focus of the commercials has gone down. I think the Fedex Kinko's ad pretty much summed up the state of the union.
The GoDaddy.com ad was supposed to be provacative and was supposed to poke fun at last years superbowl half time show. It just seemed more inappropriate and lame than witty. Apparently, it was supposed to show again at the 2 minute warning, but the NFL told Fox not to show it again. Apparently Godaddy payed 5 million for the two spots and is now seekig damages. In my opinion it was a waste of 5 million dollars, why not instead go to 1and1.com. Spending 5 million to advertise yet another domain registry service for 1 minute seems like the biggest waste of money. If they gave me half of that. I could have made a much better ad campaign.
Here's a link to video clips of a handful of the commercials from Superbowl XXXIX
