Superbowl XL

Once the Patriots were eliminated, I was rooting for the Steelers, and was happy they won last night. However, was not impressed by either the quatilty of play or the ref calls against the Seahawks - what a tough break they got on almost all the calls.

The Rolling Stones - can you believe these birds are still around and playing together?! Even though I do not like them, have to admire their staying power.

Now for the ads. The ones I liked the best:
- Soap maker Dove aired a spot from its "Campaign for Real Beauty" advertising effort aimed at debunking stereotypes about beauty. The ad featured close-ups of several young girls with captions like, "Thinks she's ugly," "Wishes she were blonde," and "Afraid she's fat." The inspiring images, set to the Cyndi Lauper song "True Colors," encouraged young women to feel good about themselves: About time!

- Magic Fridge: Funny
- Superbowl/Dr Suess ad with Harrison Ford: Awesome
