This year, like last, for me, is already forgotten and tucked away in a place that my mind can’t find. I’m the type of person who always expects the worst so that I can only be happy with the outcome.
This year, the Patriots struggled as well as some of the ad companies who just couldn’t pull off a decent ad if they tried.
Tom Brady
After a stellar performance throughout the entire season, Gisele must have not put out for the past week. Given that a few times his offensive line failed him — he over or under-threw too many passes to be Tom Brady. The undefeatable 18-0 supposed best football team ever crumples at the will of an inferior team removing their chances of being the best football team ever.
EPIC FAIL.
SalesGenie
Various vulgar phrases come to mind. What the f*ck? Holy sh*t. What the hell was that? Half of the Superbowl spectacle is the commercials. SalseGenie.com aired two commercials, both in cartoon form, and both painfully frumpy.
It was hard to follow for more than two seconds, and then the splash page with their phone number on it at the end just made it look like one of those infomercials you’d see at 4am when you had nothing better to do. Also note the cultural/racial undertones in each ad.
EPIC FAIL. If you want to see some report card rating on all of the Superbowl ads, check out Informationweek.com’s report card.

I think you just can’t cope with the loss.
Ad #1: wtf?
Ad #2: got bored.

OMG. The panda one wasn’t so much undertones as painfully, blatantly, grautitously racist. I can see where they were trying to go… they just wanted a joke about a panda eating bamboo chairs. And then Satan appeared and said “Hey, I can get you that…” and now they have no immortal souls and a horrible, horrible ad campaign.
