I'm getting sick and tired of hearing all the ad pundits here going on and on about how the up-coming Super Bowl will, once again be the Super Bowl of advertising. Something we are repeatedly told that has consumers watching the game for the ads, rather than the football.
Considering that the 60 minute, playing time, game usually last for about four mind numbing hours, you're talking about a hell of a lot of ads. Interestingly, they still haven't sold out the complete inventory of 30 second slots at $3 million a pop. So, there's lots of discounting going on.
As usual, Anheuser-Busch, is the biggest advertiser, with four and a half minutes and three spots featuring their famous Clydesdales. But as I have written before, now that Bud belongs to the Belgians, after the Super Bowl, the Gee-gees will be Brussels bound to be turned into Bud-Burgers. Hey... Times are tough!
They call that bloody FOOTBALL ?
Bloody nancying about in bloody shoulder pads and bloody helmets and they bloody call it bloody football?
