Who doesn't enjoy a good ad, a good joke, or a good meal? When properly prepared and delivered, each of these can leave you feeling thoughtful, happy and satisfied. So, how did you feel about the watching the most expensive advertisements created for television viewing during the Super Bowl?
I was still hungry when the game ended.
More satisfying than the actual ads was the running commentary on Twitter. Activity included: 2,695 tweets from 1,802 contributors. Tagged with the hashtags: #brandbowl (see http://brandbowl2010.com/ for ad rankings by popularity) , #superbowl, or #sb44, the Twitter chatter left me amused, enlightened, and happy to play ad critic in 140 characters or less.

Watching the Super Bowl - waste of time;
Watching Super Bowl ads - total waste of time; Commenting on and reviewing Super Bowl ads - utterly mindless.

Maybe. I think it's OK to waste time once in a while. The SuperBowl is pretty much the only football game I watch and what I like about it is quality of the videography. I don't care who is playing. As for the commercials, they should be the best of the best given the obscene amount of money that goes into making them and the cost of ad space. Unfortunately, it does not always work out that way. I work in marketing, PR, and writing. The cross-section of pop culture and technology is always fascinating.
