Each week, the Los Angeles Times publishes a feature in the weeklend section of the daily, in which they mouth off about what is overrated and what is not.
In today's Sunday edition staff writers were inclined to lament that Super Bowl commercials were underrated.
Huh?
Actually, the complete opposite is true, if you are to believe the intense frenzied traffic on the Internet that proliferated during and after the highly-watched sports event.
In fact, at Yahoo and Alexa, the searches were so staggering, that the subject of Super Bowl commercials was propelled into the golden heights of the top ten list.
Nowithstanding, earlier in the evening I also noticed links on a couple of well-travelled web sites inviting web surfers to play back those precious thirty-second-jolts of advertising which satiated a Nation's hungry for a bit of laughter in the midst of troubled storms that have been wearing us all down on all fronts of late.
Wake up, dudes!
When I was a kid, commercial break was the occasion to dash off to the water closet and take a whiz, rustle up a tasty snack, pick your nose (whatever).
To quote one of the most successful slogans Madison Avenue ever came up with:
"You've come a long way, baby!"
Saints win most-watched Superbowl?
