Second quarter

cpealet: ech. the eagles score. ok, I'm waiting for the shot of Will Smith in the stands.timnudd: always a good sign when the underdog scores firstcpealet: i spose. if you don't live with a Pats fan.cpealet: It's Hammer Time!timnudd: wasn't he preaching in prisons or something recently?cpealet: yeah. I think he declared bankruptcy too. you can read up on it.timnudd: i liked the itunes/pepsi spot. fun, good energy. nobody stealing anythingcpealet: I actually thought that spot was funny and had an actual point. i get it. I can download stuff for free with the Pepsi/iTunes promo. I am clairvoyant....!timnudd: chris collinsworth just said the eagles are dishing out "a pretty good whoopin". not sure where he gets that. it's 7-0cpealet: there's nothing like a good NFL cliche. even when it doesn't fit the situation.timnudd: he couldn't help himselfcpealet: I've noticed several other disturbing ad trends. One of the Diet Pepsi ads and the "Be Cool" promo both made reference to "Saturday Night Fever."cpealet: Then we have Cedric the Entertainer in both the "Be Cool" spot and a Bud Light one. The only conclusion I can come to is that Burt Reynolds and Cedric are tied at two Super Bowl ad appearances each.timnudd: cedric is a super bowl institutioncpealet: he's the Terry Bradshaw of Super Bowl advertising.timnudd: he's required to be in at least one commercialcpealet: you're so right. I forgot. thanks for straightening me out.timnudd: there was another pepsi/itunes commercial - and gwen stefani was in it. i wouldn't mind more of thosecpealet: typical. does she really dress like that when she's in the elevator of an office building? just asking...timnudd: she's always oncpealet: i think she had more off than on. timnudd: the degree spot was a good idea - spoofing doll commercials. it just didn't seem very funnycpealet: it had no connection to the product whatsoever. and you know what a stickler I am for that.cpealet: caution. chimp overdose! caution! talking parakeet alert!timnudd: did you see the chimp who was photocopying his butt? that was funnycpealet: actually that was really funny. not that I care what the ad was for (but it was for careerbuilder.com). see? I remembered. timnudd: meanwhile, the game is going great. tom brady actually looks vulnerablecpealet: oh right, the game. I'm getting ramped up for the half-time "wardrobe malfunction." I mean "show."cpealet: oh jeez. that Silestone spot was just awful.timnudd: does anyone still remember those guys from super bowl XX? ditka, fridge, jim mcmahon. I remember them, but i grew up out therecpealet: oh right. the fridge, who could forget the fridge? whatever happened to the fridge? timnudd: he looks the sametimnudd: so it's almost halftime and we're tied upcpealet: second quarter goes to the gametimnudd: we haven't had that "reebok terry tate" type of ad yet - the one that really stands outcpealet: no. it's sort of standard super bowl fare. going for the easy joke. the best moment though was the chimp making a photocopy of his butt. talk about an easy joke.cpealet: the ads might catch up if we could have a Clydesdale take a photocopy of his butt.timnudd: or gwen stefanicpealet: typical
