My picks for top 2012 Superbowl Commercials

#5 – Avengers Trailer – Because seriously, it’s the damn Avengers.

#4 – Phone Innovators – If only because of the 5 second “Words with friends” bit.

#3 – Pepsi King’s Court – Because damn that girl’s got some fine titties Lungs on her!

#2 – Fiat 500 Abarth – I was actually angry with this commercial until it turned out to be a commercial for….ah well, just watch it:

#1 – Chrysler – It’s halftime in America

There’s only a few guys that can pull off an Independence Day “We will endure” speech, and Clint Eastwood is at the top of that list. I’m also a huge fan of the “Imported from Detroit” slogan, and I’m real happy with the nationalist / rah rah ‘go america’ tone. This thing had me tearing up a wee bit…

Also, as a side note, I want to meet and shake the hand of LMAO’s booking agent, they were EVERYWHERE during this year’s superbowl, in at least two commercials (M&M, and the pre-halftime advert) and were actually one of the back up artists to Madonna’s “safe” performance.

dishonorable mention: Godaddy, still sexist and sensationalist as ever. I suggest Namecheap for those of you still with them.

Think I got it wrong? have another one to suggest? Let me know in the comments!

‘Good Without God’

Atheism is coming to the subway — or at least subway ads promoting it are.

Starting next Monday, a coalition of local groups will run a monthlong advertising campaign in a dozen Manhattan subway stations with the slogan “A Million New Yorkers Are Good Without God. Are You?” The posters also advertise the Web site BigAppleCoR.org, which provides a listing of local groups affiliated with the Coalition of Reason, the umbrella organization that coordinated the campaign.
The campaign — which is being paid for by $25,000 from an anonymous donor — follows a similar but unrelated monthlong campaign on buses by New York City Atheists in July. Jane Everhart, a spokeswoman for the New York City Atheists, said that campaign was highly successful and brought in many new members. “We are trying to raise money to do it again,” she said.

The subway campaign is timed to a new book called “Good Without God” by Greg Epstein, which is to be released on Oct. 27 by William Morrow. Mr. Epstein, the Harvard University humanist chaplain, is having a book signing at Columbia University Bookstore on Oct. 28.

I saw these on Hulu and seriously a couple of them almost brought me to tears, they’re so perfect.

Pepsi Max is So Good it Will Make You Commit Suicide


“OK, so the product is Pepsi Max. Think, people. It’s a diet cola, it’s only got one calorie. One. One lonely calorie. Wait! That’s it! The calorie is single, and alone, and so it’s depressed! Because it’s lonely! So lonely, that it’s suicidal! So we do an ad campaign with the Pepsi logo right next to a guy blowing his fucking brains out! Brilliant!”


Oh, yeah, that’s real. Pepsi only ran it once in Germany, but millions of people saw it, thanks to the Internet. And whether critics thought it was glorifying suicide rather than simply mocking it, not even the unexpected cuteness of the emo calorie could prevent the outrage that followed.

Pepsi’s excuse was that they didn’t think anyone outside the Deutschland would see the ad. And everyone knows that Germans have… well, let’s just say they have much less delicate sensibilities.Pepsi’s director of social and emerging media apologized and the ad was quickly pulled. It wasn’t long before the American Pepsi brand ended its 50-year relationship with the agency that was responsible. European Pepsi still works with them, though, because they are unafraid of the darkness within.
