The greatness of the Super Bowl

The only thing I liked was Slash and the score.The commercials were lame too.:passout:
 
Besides a great football game, I think the bright spot was the Chrysler 200. Even Eminem showed redeeming social value. Best of luck, Detroit. You deserve it!
 
Chrysler sure is basing their marketing on the buy America theme like the "Imported from Detroit".

I thought the commercials were so so...and they spent a lot of money to show them.

I only saw the game through the 3Q but it is good when it goes to the end..not a blow out.
 
The ones that come to mind were the two from VW and the Faith Hill Teleflora, I laughed out loud at the latter. The two Doritos which I remember were indeed lame. For Mrs. Clean and myself, the little Darth Vader was the SB lottery winner.

Throughout that whole commercial (after seeing Eminem), I kept expecting Eminem to open the trunk and have his ex-wife tied up back there.

'Imported from Detroit' is a dumb tag line in my opinion. Not really getting what they're trying to convey there. I would much rather have seen something along the lines of built in Detroit by American workers or something, but that's just me.

I think their problem is that a lot of their materials comes from Canada and Mexico so for an across the board slogan it would not work.
 
Maybe I'm just not as insecure in my "Amreican-ness" as other people, but the fact that automobile companies are based outside the US, or that US companies use foreign parts and assemble the cars here, or whatever mix in-between doesn't really sell me or not on the car. I'm supportive of Americans and all, but the world is a global marketplace and the whole wave-an-American-flag-all-over type marketing really doesn't do a lot for me. To each their own, I suppose.

'Imported from Detroit' just makes it sound like it's another place, which depending on what kind of view you take of the country, it just might be. It's just kinda corny-sounding to me. If you're wanting to market based on "American-ness" it would have been nice to see the nod to the American workers instead of some "catchy" tag line about being "imported."
