Super Bowl AdsSuperbowl XXXIX: Break 03
*Special Double Coverage!*

TAKE ONE:

"My Other Car" | Volvo

Summary: Rocket takes off, revealing a bumper sticker reading "my other car is a Volvo."

High point: It's Richard Branson in the rocket.

Low point: His other car is a Volvo my ass.

Will this ad fight tyranny? If Branson crashes the rocket into Kim Jong Il's palace it would be a start.


"Wardrobe Malfunction" | godaddy.com

Summary: Zaftig woman testifies before congressional committee that she will be in an advertisement. One of the straps on her top breaks, cleverly referencing last year's halftime show. Committee disapproves.

High point: Clearly, the breaking of the strap. Props to godaddy.com for being the first to take a jab at the silly overreaction to nipplegate.

Low point: Didn't have the gonads to even show a pixilated boobie.

Will this ad fight tyranny? Uh... boobies.

TAKE TWO:

"The Launch" | Volvo

Summary: And we have our first phallic symbol of the night (not counting Bill Clinton's nose). It's a rocket. Launching Richard Branson into space. To advertise for Volvo.

Attentive readers will remember that Volvo previously produced a critically acclaimed commercial for its German market that featured a cat getting decapitated. This ad is vastly more penis friendly.

High Point: No cut off penis imagery.

Low Point: Implication that Richard Branson is in my penis.

Will this ad fight tyranny?: Indicates that Sweden now stands on the side of freedom and against decapitation. Of either head.


"Nipple-Gate" | go-daddy.com

Summary: This is Go-Daddy.com's "controversial" reference to last year's debacle. It features a scantily clad woman before a Senate committee.

High Point: Go-Daddy.com perpetuates that socially healthy father/daughter sexual imagery.

Low Point: No nipplage.

Will this ad fight tyranny?: It's clear that the Islamofascists have set us back in terms of televised nudity.
