Based on the Super Bowl commercials tonight, you wouldn't guess that any women watch the Super Bowl, or actually care about football.
...
who would've thought that the Tim Tebow abortion ad would actually be one of the less sexist ads tonight?
Thanks to Silence Isn't Golden. I wonder how the ads did in the ratings.

Where was the creativity?
We were pretty underwhelmed by the ads. The killer whale had the best punch line and the Bud lite ads were good on the whole but nothing like what we were hoping for. Obviously there were a lot of unsold spots since we saw a ton of ads for CBS network shows.

I liked the Doritos ad with the kid v. boyfriend. Oh yeah, the Doritos dog collar was pretty good, too.
The Dodge ad was over the top. It will probably work, though.
What would the women's version of the Dodge ad be?
Any ideas?

It's interesting that the Tebow/Focus on the Family ad backed off the abortion claim. Maybe it was because Alternet had a story about how it might not have been true since abortion was illegal in the Phillipines at the time (Tebow's mother was there) and the doctor could have done several years in prison and so could his mother.
