Were You Watching What We Saw, Stuart?

On the “responsible” Super Bowl ads that NY Times ad maven Stuart Elliot writes about today…. OK, maybe there were a few, but did he not see: A woman being mercilessly tackled and slammed to the ground during a touch football game for a beer ad? Not that there’s anything wrong with that — well, actually, there IS something wrong with that. Or the women dressed as burgers and fixings piling on top of each other for a fast food chain? We like frat boy humor and aren’t necessarily fond of tastefulness, but “responsible?” C’mon.

We did like the monkeys making an office worker dance in a conference room for a career website.
