You people rock. You give me hope in this world of crass consumerism and greedy bastards. I'm going to have to try all of these wonderful little jokes.
But, on advertising:
[Devil's Advocate]
Does anyone watch these things for their pure entertainment value? Somewhat to my dismay, these are the things that are going to be most remembered by The Future (our equivalent of Homer and Plato? Future Generations are going to hate us). What's been one of the biggest draws of the Super Bowl? It sure as hell hasn't been the halftime show. It's the commercials. Obviously, they are trying to sell you something and to do that they are probably connoting other messages that are, in general, not healthy for us as a society.
However, there is a great deal of enjoyment to be taken out of watching commercials (be it from the sheer stupidity of them, deconstructing the messages contained therein, or just appreciating the slickness of the slimeballs that created them).
