Super Bowl Commercial Skewer-a-thon
tunabomber writes: "Those planning on tuning in to America's Patriotic Sports TV Event of the Year to catch the new commercials will no longer have to sit through all that football filler. PBS, of all networks, is airing a postgame show in which the subject of discussion is not the game, but the commercials.
Super Commercials: A Mental Engineering Special is a beefed-up episode of the cultish Mental Engineering series where a panel of experts, including former Daily Show host Lizz Winstead and a Silicon Valley computer scientist, critique (read: eviscerate) Super Bowl commercials.
There are also blurbs about this at The Kansas City Star and The St. Paul Star Tribune." One thing you'll be able to look forward to: fewer sock puppet commercials, more anti-terror commercials.
I cannot wonder how many billions have gone down the drain in order to gain the market share that corporations want? How many billions has MS spent trying to convince folks they they are good?
The fact that MS has not fully succeeded demonstrates the actual effectiveness of such techniques against a group of people who can thing for themselves on occasion
except for the occasional marketing campaign for a favorite gameing system, etc.

Do not be fooled! the parent post contains a GOATSEX REDIRECT! DO NOT click! It was modded up using a second account owned by the poster of that garbage. MOD DOWN parent!
Boo Hoo. Oh why won't they just let me smoke pot. It helps me forget that I am a lazy, moronic 16 yr old who has just started going through puberty.
I've yet to meet one person who smokes pot on a regular basis that has done one productive thing in their life. All they do is sleep, eat and complain about how they have no money. Most of them still live with their parents and all of them still work in crappy jobs (if they work at all).
You just keep throwing your money away so that you can forget that your daddy raped you as a little boy. In the meantime I will continue to fight this beast from the inside. I will continue to educate the people that matter - the workaday man and woman. You keep smoking your pot, eating cheetos, and burning down Starbucks and let us fight the real war.
