I am not a fan of American football. (I'm not a fan of "real" football, or American soccer, either, but that's neither here nor there.) However, I have always enjoyed the advertisements for the Super Bowl. Since they cost so much to air, greater care is taken to make them good and entertaining.
The last few years, I have been able to watch them on the Internet, thus bypassing the game entirely. But this year an odd thing happened. I was watching them via a link on Yahoo (you remember them). Get this: they were "brought to me" by some stupid looking TV show I can't even remember the name of.
So imagine. I'm watching ads, and ads are interspersed in them. Two Super Bowl ads, one 15-second spot for this TV show. It was surreal.
Pretty quickly, I tired of this. Really, that TV show looks pretty stupid (which I realize is also a trend). So I haven't seen most of the Super Bowl ads this year, ironically due to ad saturation.
