Attention, people: Go ahead and comment here on any miscellaneous ads I haven't had a chance to post on yet, mmmkay?
Some random reactions:
*Budweiser's p.r. firm deserves every penny. I'm going to be fantasizing about a "magic fridge" all night.
*What do you think it costs you to get a Jay Mohr as your spokesman?
*I hate FedEx because they lost my aerobed -- long story -- and it kills me to give them any publicity, but... cavemen are funny.
*It seems relevant to note that former 7-Up pitchman Orlando Jones has a new, grownup job: the television series "The Evidence." And he gets to co-star with the (newly single) Rob Estes! Was anyone else out there as passionate as me about "Silk Stalkings"?
*I'm not an expert, but are battery-powered razors a good idea?
*I was prepared to be annoyed by the "Desperate Housewives" spots, but I'm getting a kick out of them.
*Both Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy scored endorsements this year. Overexposed! Why don't the cool Muppets get any love? Do Gonzo and Animal have lousy agents, or what?
*They've remade "The Poseidon Adventure"? With Josh Lucas? Who will probably have to film many scenes while soaking wet? I'm a happy girl.
I thought it was a waste of Mohr. How about some Walken? Some cowbell?
Diet Pepsi: Brown and bubbly? Are they insane? Have they never been in third grade? Ameriquest and the heart paddles? Priceless!

I thought that the Pepsi can wearing teeny little headphones was kind of cute. I love cute. My favorite ad of all time was Quizno's screaming monkeys. Or were they hamsters?
The D.Pepsi campaign is the weakest bit of overpriced shite to come out of Madison Ave. since their campaign last Super Bowl.
Newsflash -- Diddy is a sellout.
So far the Ameriquest ads are the best.
Hopefully, the fact that they played the crap out of the Jessica Simpson commercial BEFORE the game will spare us frrm having to sit through it again.
By the way -- It's no newsflash that Diddy is a sellout. He reminds everyone of it every chance that he gets.

I was further outraged by the Jessica Simpson ad when I saw she was gyrating for what looked to be a 13-year-old boy. Creepy.
