It's time to talk football. This year's
Superbowl looks to be one of the best ever. I'm not talking about the
actual game, but the commercials. Don't worry about
missing something of the game itself, cause it'll be recycled on
ESPN over and over again. What I'm talking about is the
million dollar commercials that are revealed at halftime. They
own the Superbowl! Yeah, I know the
Panthers dominated the NFC. I know the
Patriots rolled over the AFC's best, but do we really
care? Isn't it all about the crazy ads?
The Skinny...
This year's 30 second spot will
average 2.25 milion dollars, or 45,000 copies of NFL Street by EA Games.
Staples is the first to reveal it's ad, a 2.3 million dollar
monster that will launch it's new slogan, "That Was Easy." It took
millions of dollars to come up with that? Whatever.
AOL is going to sponsor the
MTV produced halftime show. I wonder if there will be
popups?
There are a ton of other commercial sponsors, such as Pepsi,
Apple iTunes, FedEx, Visa, and Frito-Lay just to name a few. Gee, all
these commercials, and where is Mike Myers?
No matter what happens, we'll see some great commercials, watch
an awesome game, and later we can duke it out on Madden to
see what might have been. See ya'll in Houston! |
