Never do. Old spice is the only one I'm looking forward to.

doritos one with the guy licking the fingers of the other dude was kinda creepy/funny.

loved the crap out of the pepsi max commercial when the blonde chick got laid out by the flying can.   

[WillieWatanabe]

I liked the Bridgestone ones...I also liked the Beetle one.

[AppleJack]

Monkeys driving cars. Monkeys = solid gold.

Monkeys driving cars. Monkeys = sold gold.

did you notice the Nebraska plates?? I lol'd.

My favorite was the truck (I think Chevy) who was imitating Lassie.

The Bridgestone commercial with the beaver was a close second.

I don't know if this qualifies as a real Super Bowl commercial, but how was I not aware of Cowboys and Aliens?

Dear God.  That's pretty much the greatest idea I've ever seen.

Doritos by a mile - both of them. Wierd, but VERY fresh and hilarious. Ripping that guy's pants off...

I've done the "reply to all" thing. Very embarrassing when that happens.

I usually just play it off like, "Oh, haha. That part where I referred to you as a jagoff? You remember what that's from, right?" But never have I considered getting in my car, speeding down the road and then destroying every lap top and cell phone that belongs to the (unintended) recipients of my e-mail.

Will have to try that.

much easier to just send the same people a virus with an important sounding heading.  something like "don't open that last email from me, run this scan instead"

problem solved.

My favorite was the one where they threw a baby at the wall.

I guess. It's like "Hey look at how down our POS city is, were proud of our unemployment rate and we're coming back!! Hopefully"

But this is what happens to a great American city when you let unions run everything and have a corrupt mayor. Sort of dug their own hole

Fantastic commercial. Good for Detroit!

don't be a dunce. why don't you actually learn something about what has happened?

What was up with the creepy world of warcraft/furry fandom Coke commercial?

You are right.... that's only a part of it.  The "sit on your ass and collect a government check" mentality is another part of it.

Why don't you enlighten us on what really happened.  Because this is a pretty good synopsis from what I can gather.

I don't have "the answer" because there isn't one.  I gave my take in the thread on the politics board. It is endlessly annoying to have people that know nothing about Detroit throw a meaningless line or two in judgement and then refuse to engage with any other information or perspective. Detroit has a tremendous set of problems, they are multi-layered, they each have unique contexts (the school district's problems are not the same as the economic, is not the same as the population decline, is not the same as the real estate market) but they ARE interrelated. I am really bothered that many, many people have no understanding of any one of the problems, yet feels comfortable condemning a city (really a region) without 1) bothering to understand that they don't understand 2) bothering to understand enough to follow a conversation and take an opinion
