Best XLVII Commercial

We do know that a football game is played on Superbowl Sunday, but what we are really doing, is having fun and waiting to see who came up with the best commercial for all their millions!

After the first half, here is what I think:

#1 Fedex and the pidgeons
#2 The Bud commercial
#3 The Ford truck being spun around...It would have been better if they had a Chevy that broke loose and hit the wall.

I have to say that overall other then the pidgions and the Bud Light "Wheel" commercial i have been fairly unimpressed.

No offence to you or your son george but im not a fan of the new trend in truck adds where a vehicle is portrayed as "better" than any other based on some crazy test in highly extrenous circumstances (Toyota driving through swinging I beams? Nissan frame being pulled by a train? Ford being swung around by its tow hooks? how often do you run into ANY of those situations in even the most extreme driving situations?!) Now if they had had the new F150 actually towing something (Toyota perhaps

)...

Just IMHO

So what does your son do and what did he work on with it?

He is an "aspiring" movie producer. Moved to Cali in November 07. On that commercial he was an assistant producer, I think.

The writers strike is really killing his job opps.

Space car on blocks did it for me, i laughed my *** off. Where i live cars on blocks is common here in tweakerland. If they don't steal tires and wheels then they just burn down the once beautiful homes downtown.
