Super Bowl ads

This had to be the suckiest year for Super Bowl ads ever since people started paying attention to them. Can we stop going over the top in the media with Super Bowl commercial coverage, by the way? Since Super Bowl 32, most of the games have been close and terrific, putting the lie to the notion that the ads are the best part of the game. Especially this year. There wasn't that much that was very funny, and I really hate the E-Trade baby gimmick. I guess I was the only one who liked the Coke ad best, the one with all the insects who steal the guy's soda bottle. I found it clever, highly imaginative and highly interesting visually. Maybe a summertime ad didn't register well with folks watching TV in February.
