Thin-skinned liberals freak out over Super Bowl ads

[Dino]

The Super Bowl is a great American past-time, regardless of one’s political preference. It’s not just about sports, though it certainly is a major event for fans of the game. It’s about good times with friends and food, and, of course, funny commercials.

For NARAL Pro-Choice America, however, the commercials were an excuse to further their radical agenda on abortion.

NotBuyingIt - that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & moms as uptight. #SB50

Also, snickers is transphobic, because hungry Marilyn Monroe is represented by Willem Dafoe in a dress. Three cheers for bringing the iconic actor back in another awesome Super Bowl ad. It wasn’t as brilliant as years past, but it was still memorable, and not just because NARAL says so.

.@SNICKERS, what was up w that commercial? Transphobic & implies women OK w being objectified as long as they have snacks #NotBuyingIt #SB50

For another car ad, they brought it upon themselves to using sarcasm and memes. Fine if you don’t want that bouquet NARAL. It at least leaves everyone else a better shot at catching it.


Really, @Buick? Women fighting over a wedding bouquet? That was the best you could come up with? #NotBuyingIt #SB50

Other than the irony of decrying a fetus acting like it actually is, a human, the group seemed to go against it’s pro-choice name over its huge issue with Super Bowl babies. The commercial was featured throughout the game, and culminated in an extended spot complete with Seal performing a version of Kiss from a Rose.
Rather than react like the rest of the world did though, which is either laugh and find it cute or ignore it and move on with their lives, the abortion group, which claims to be pro-choice, proceeded to communicate what is and is not a good reason to conceive.
They were all too happy to retweet posts from their Ohio affiliate saying as much.

The apparent aim of such tweets was to call out the oh so sexist media. If anything though, NARAL just showed America how much they hate babies and fun, and people have certainly noticed.

 

[as seen on tv]

super bowl ads are meant to be entertaining. political wonks who are laser-focused on a single issue completely lack humor, however.

that said, let's turn to the "right hand side of the radio dial", and see what THEY have to say about one of the superbowl ads. Specifically, "Rocket Mortgage/Quicken Loans".

The financial cognoscenti believe the that hawking "mortgages completed on your sell phone with minimal documentation" is possibly a harbinger of the next housing/financial crisis. See link below.

I've heard the analysis we are heading into another mortgage bubble problem, don't quite know why the "sell phone" would necessarily be the sure sign of it.
My personal fave has to be the puppymonkeybaby. Oddball as it gets, and memorable enough to be effective as an ad.

The Dorito's commercial caused its own controversy in my house. My son turned at me after it was obvious that the baby was making his escape... and said, " I thought babies came out of the mommy's tummy, not that way"......

Yeah.. yeah.. thanks doritos.

Wow, yeah, never thought about the anatomical questions that might be brought up. The ad was supposed to be a joke, you can try to pass it off as just crude humor.
As my 11 year old likes to say "awkward!".

Oh, it was funny and we were laughing.. I had actually seen it before. But, I didn't realize he was quite so observant. But, later I jokingly said to my husband that it was like someone replaced my 9 year old with a three year old...the whole time it was - what does that mean? What is a penalty? Why did they do this or that... what is a replay and on and on about the things on the commercials, the parts of the game, the strategy, words he didn't know...

I had nightmares of back when he was three and everything was.. but why? But, why"? But how" But, why?

While I don't disagree that liberals are foolish as described, they're really no more foolish than the conservatives who were so outraged by Beyonce's song. Celebrities tend to think they're important. The key to dealing with them is to remember that they are court jesters.
