The Super Bowl ad that Volkswagen plans to run is being called racist, because it's about how driving a VW Beetle makes you so happy you talk in a thick Jamaican accent. Volkswagen says it consulted 100 Jamaicans before releasing the ad, and used a speech coach to get the accent right. But the company has other ads to run in its place if this one causes too much controversy.

New to the Super Bowl commercial game for 2013 is Gildan. You know, the company that makes t-shirts that other people print stuff on. Apparently our estimation of them is a little low, because this guy is willing to do a lot for his favorite shirt, which is obviously a Gildan. We’re personally from the [...]

Emerald Catron — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:08:34 +0000

Fiat just keeps the Super Bowl 2013 commercials coming. We aren’t certain on the setting for this one (probably California someplace), but we’re glad we don’t have to drive this highway every day. Seriously, if those tunnels are dark enough that you can’t even tell somebody is leaning from the backseat to kiss the driver [...]

Getting banned in the UK for "denigrating" bottled drinks won't stop SodaStream from bringing their message to the biggest advertising opportunity in the world -- Super Bowl 2013. The advertisement shows people carbonating water with a SodaStream and making the bottles the beverages are contained in instantly disappear. Apparently other soda manufacturers were upset and the ad was pulled from British television.
