More on Super Bowl Ads

I wish they'd bring back the Budweiser frogs but someone told me they couldn't because they heard that all of them "croaked."

A couple of days ago I blogged about reject Super Bowl Ads and here I go again. General Electric wanted to sponsor the Super Bowl but they were rejected because the NFL didn’t want to make light of the game. It didn’t help that when the NFL Ad committee called about the request the phone at G.E. was answered, “Wattsup?”

*Blogger’s Note: I guess I really need to come up with something of more substance to “flesh” out this blog post. And when things need fleshing out it is always best to go with a carbohydrate, fat, and sugar or in this case I think I’ll go with Twinkies…

Twinkies were also looking for an ad slot during the airing of this year’s Super Bowl. As everyone knows their Host(ess) company has gone belly up (vs. belly out) but they still held out hopes for a Hail Mary pass. Unfortunately Twinkies don’t fall under the NFL’s current guidelines for promotion of good eating and healthy exercise.  There was also the fact that the American Heart Association might have a heart attack and Twinkies did nothing to sweeten the disposition of the American Diabetes Society. So not only did the Hail Mary fail, so also failed the sugar rush.

Personally, I think the thing that really tipped the table against Twinkies is that yellow dye no. 5 just couldn't compete with the Baltimore Ravens, Joe Flacco’s jersey color, purple no.5.
