Thanks for inviting me to your Thuper Bowl Party. I brought Thimas for adult beverages, plus a divine chocolate moooth.

Now which one is the tight end?

The ad is on youtube, and I agree that the group probably did not have the money. The production on this thing is horrible—it definitely does not meet up to the production standard set by past Super Bowls.

It was thrown together at the last minute and foisted on them less than a week before the airdate. Who would even think that there was even any time left to be bought?

I wish CBS would be honest and say, “look, we cannot force every father watching the super-bowl with his 10 year old son to have to shut off the t.v., take the boy aside and explain, ‘son, I'm sorry you had to see that. That was a deviant act and you should not have been exposed to it.’” I think that would be to much to ask of CBS; but, you know that is the case; or they were being told by the censors that they would have to put a parental advisory.

Liberals will use this as an excuse to force CBS to pull the Tebow ad. THat’s their tactic...

They don’t like the morality that will be shown in the Tebow ad, and so they’re going to try and shove their pagan religion down our throats.

If they can get the ad pulled, it’s an even greater win than the free publicity.

Oh, you mean they don’t have the money to blow? It’s an investment, right? So they figured they’d make it up on the back end. OK - I’ll stop now.

Super Bowl broadcasts used to feature “Up With People”. Now, it seems they feature “Up Yours, People!”

It’s not the bread they’re worried about - it’s the buns.

I’m sorry - I missed everything you said after “big knockers.”

“She has big knockers. That is all I remember of the add.”

Funny. I remember the same part of that commercial, but I can’t remember what they were selling. The old axiom, “sex sells,” is true, but not entirely true in a marketing sense. “Sex” sells sex. I’m not inclined to visit Geico.com because I have a lustful infatuation with geckos. “5 minutes can save you 15% or more on car insurance” is a much better hook than “look at the size of these BOOBS!” Boobs are more entertaining, but a lizard that saves me $ is better marketing.

Note that #60 is a Packer. Coincidence?
