it is good that you aren’t swayed by a cute commercial, but sadly too many people are

Adverts very rarely persuade me to buy anything – I just don’t trust them! When watching an advert or film featuring any animal I just look to see if the animal seems happy. If they do then I will happily enjoy the commercial, but if it isn’t (Like the polo advert from a little while ago!) Then I will switch over until the ad has finished.

I love the commercials, hate the products, too! I adore Corgis — Cardigans especially since Ducky is part Cardi — but I haven’t used Purina dog food in over 15 years. And I hate beer in general, but especially Budweiser. Tho I do make exceptions for a really good German beer.

I think the win-win this year will be the Tim Tebow commercial …hunky Tim Tebow and puppies, no down side at all, and I don’t think anyone will even notice what the brand being pitched is…so I won’t have to worry about that..just pure entertainment!

I have to admit, my favorite part of the Super Bowl is the commercials. I generally love Budweiser commercials, but also hate the beer.

Love the puppy & horses too, shame about what it’s promoting. By the way I am reading a book called “How Dogs Love Us” and it’s about how a neuroscientist gets his and other dogs to willingly & happily go into an MRI without sedation to see what their brain is doing and therefore can we deduce from that what they’re thinking ? Only half way through, will let you know the outcome!

I do drink Bud on occasion. I’ve yet to find wine that really can be paired with a pepperoni, jalapeno and pineapple pizza; the search goes on. I don’t think my decision would be based on a puppy commercial. If an ad is offensive I think I would react differently.

However, stick Johnny Galecki in an Elantra and I may take a second look.

No polar bears for Budweiser–Coca cola has the polar bear trademarked to sell *their* undrinkable swill.

Sorry – “car,” not “cars.” Messed up on my editing. And that Corgi is adorable…though I’m no longer swayed by the products….

Even when I was able to swallow, I preferred wine over beer but I love the Budweiser commercials. Have watched this puppy one a gazillion times. The Clydesdale jumping that fence is poetry to my eyes. I yearn to be on his back when he does. Draft horses are gentle giants, but one does need to be wary of their feet – so huge!

Though the Audi TT Quattro is my favorite cars to drive (even more than Porsche): it hugs the road warmly and securely, with a Bose stereo to enhance the drive. But, sniff, I agree – the ad this year is disgusting and will be voted one of the worst ever.
