Super Bowl Commercials

Well, the Super Bowl is over. The Panthers lost to the Patriots by a field goal. A real heartbreaker. But... The commercials were pretty good.

I particularly liked the 7-Up commercial where the people were trying to dunk on the back of the van. You could see the jokes coming, but they were still funny. I may have been influenced by my son who was nearly pissing his pants.

My second favorite was the Dale Earnhart Jr. Budweiser commercial. I hate it when that happens. The donkey Budweiser commercial was also pretty good.

My favorite commercial overall was the Mohammed Ali IBM Linux commercial. My son looked at me and said, "I don't get it." I replied that the commercial was aimed at me. I had a huge grin on my face. IBM is really doing a good job pushing Linux out to the rest of the world. They are doing the marketing job that no one else is doing. The really great part is that they are succeeding.
