SUPER BOWL COMMERCIALS WE LIKED OR HATED

What was the point of the Detroit/Chrysler ad? You hardly saw the car (which looked kinda like a PT Cruiser to me), you did see what a 3rd world dump Detroit has become and you got to see Eminem, which ain't a great sales point. Honestly, that ad was depressing. It was one of the worse ones.

I didn't see it that way. There are a lot of beautiful old skyscrapers. I saw a thriving city. You had to show one or two depressing locations to make the point.

My favorite was the Audi commercial showing the escape from the luxury prison, complete with Kenny G to lull the prisoners into unconsciousness.

I hated Kenny G in that ad. He doesn't put me to sleep. He's irritating.

Sorry v, but I saw a depressed place that was once great, but is no longer. The 'we're back' theme rang hollow. And Eminem is hardly a purveyor of optimism. Besides what did any of it have to do with selling the Chrysler 200?

A very bad ad featuring a very bad, post-apocalyptic, city.

If Detroit really wants to make a comeback, they need to find ways to bring jobs and people back into the city. But, in today's economy, there hasn't been much progress. And a car commercial will do very little to make it better -- it is nowhere near Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' 1967 Motown single "I Care About Detroit", which was released soon after the riots that year.

Okay, well, that's just how I saw it. You saw it your way. We're entitled to opur opinions.
