The Chevy ad Ford didn't want you to see

According to Adrants, Ford tried to have this cheeky ad pulled from yesterday's Super Bowl lineup for obvious reasons.

Chevy, having spent some serious coing on production, refused. And we all had a good chuckle.




The only question the ad left me with was this:

When will they realize there are no women?

Oh, wait...



That will end well...

F'd Ad Fridays: Five hours of Adriana Lima

KIA seems to have taken their Super Bowl "teaser" rather literally, providing boys (and girls who like girls) five online hours of slow motion flag waving. Although I'm sure most viewers will be "done" in under five minutes.

Garth: Hey, are you done yet? I'm getting tired of holding it. 

Wayne: Yeah, that's what she said. 

(Here's the actual ad, in case you're tired of being teased.)

There are lots of ways to waste your money producing Super Bowl ads. GoDaddy has found a new one — hiring the burlesque pop group Pussycat Dolls to sit around preening in the background of their very poorly produced ad.

Obligatory Honda CR-V Matthew/Ferris Post

Like many of you, I have already seen this on AdFreak and elsewhere. I'm just posting it so people stop sending it to me.



It's a really great piece of '80s homage, and is really kind to the source material as well as the actor's dignity. Well done, RPA.

It's not that I'm not also fascinated by the Super Bowl advertising orgy of conspicuous budget consumption. I just hate to be overly "me too" on this blog.
