Superbowl Commercials

I can't believe the company that made the commercials with the fake Oriental accents. I'm not the most politically correct guy in the world, but Geez, that was offensive. I'm shocked that they got those past the censors.

Yeah, that one was pretty terrible.
On that note though, the commercials were terrible this year. There were maybe 2-3 good ones, and there had to have only been like 20 commercials shown which is drastically lower from last year. I guess companies are tired of paying ridiculous money for a commercial and decided to just not do it.

+1, I saw that and was very surprised that they would air something as stupid as that. Not good

Edit
Here it is (I think this is the one being referred to?)for those who may not have seen it.

Note - there's some vulgarity in the youtube comments section, just an FYI

Maybe this will be the start of something. Maybe people will tire of paying and supporting all kinds of rediculously over-priced and over-rated events.

Could sanity start with the SuperBowl? How ironic.

I loved that water commercial with Naomi Campbell dancing. She must be near forty, and she is as beautiful as she ever was! I wouldn't mind seeing that one in regular rotation!

I didn't like the commercials this year, I thought the bulk of them were pretty stupid and not funny.
