Super Bowl XLI: Operation Miami Entice
by Flak Staff

With the consumption of Super Bowl commercials becoming a horrible national epidemic that threatens to overwhelm the game entirely, some might suggest that an effort to review every single commercial in real time is nothing less than massive overkill.

We agree. However, massive overkill is an annual tradition here at Flak, so we're coming after the ads — and the Prince-ified halftime show — with both guns blazing.

More than mere reviews, the Flak ad capsules will dissect ads' fatal weaknesses, wallow in Super Bowl commericial-related trivia, and answer the questions that are on everybody's minds: Will these ads calm or inflame the Iraqi civil war? And will these ads finally allow young Iraqis to open their hearts to freedom... American-style?

Start checking this page about an hour after kickoff, and enjoy the ad reviews as they roll in, hot off of our laptops.

Ad reviewers include: Colin Alexander in San Francisco, Matt Hanson in Boston, James Norton in Minneapolis, Joey Rubin in New York City, and Aemilia Scott in Chicago. Graphic by Derek Evernden, editing and posting courtesy of Ashley Sy.
