> No discussion on the Super Bowl ads, so here goes.

I was disappointed that the Wall Street Journal's 'vote for your favorite ad' didn't 
even LIST the Google ad!  It took me twice through it to really get it all, though.  
(The 'truffles/Truffaut' pairing was great.)

I would probably have voted for the Snickers ad anyway (edging out the Letterman ad), 
though the 'Groundhog Day' ad got the biggest round of applause here.

Worst ad was probably the 'casual day' ad, though there were numerous contenders
for 'most easily ignored' ad, including ALL the Budweiser ads and most of the car ads!  
Not being a Simsons fan (I'd rather watch a test pattern), it left me flat.

After all the hype, I was disappointed in the Tebow ad, especially the gag at the end, 
which seemed terribly out of place given their overall message.  (Having it placed 
right after the Snickers ad was bad joss.)

And I'm tired of the GoDaddy ads.
