Best SuperBowl Ads 2010

My 2 favorite ads were from Google and cars.com

Billy Mays Dead at 50

"Hi. Billy Mays here..." will not be heard on any new commercials. Billy Mays died this morning. I thought that his commercials were always fun to watch, and he also had a show on Discovery called Pitchmen, which was pretty decent.

On Phelps

I don't see what Phelps did that was so bad.  There is a picture of him smoking out of a bong.  If only he were as good as all other superstar athletes, like the ones that use steroids, beat their girlfriends, and do all sorts of other things.  How many athletes have been arrested for drunk driving in the past year?  Probably over a dozen.  And that's a lot worse than smoking some marijuana, since they put others in danger, something that it seems Phelps did not do.  

And then there's the issue of his sponsor, but I'll allow Radley Balko to air the grievances on that:

This would be the same company that for decades has been encouraging children to start the day by inhaling sugar by the spoonful. It’s also the company that still proudly bears the name of the man who advocated yogurt enemas and pouring carbolic acid on the clitoris to prevent women from experiencing sexual pleasure.

Yes, it would be a shame to see a 14-time gold medalist’s bong hit tarnish the company’s image.
