Well that's it the New Orleans Saints win the Super Bown against the Indianapolis Colts. Being, well me, I don't watch the Super Bowl that much, I just watch for the family fun, and togetherness. While looking on-line about the Super Bowl, the writers headline was "Who DAT? It's the Super Bowl champ Saints." and when reading this I was appalled at the headline, what professional news writer would actually put "Who DAT?" in the headline. I'm an English major and I find this very appauling.
Although one thing I did love was watching the commercials, which I became a fan of the Dorrito's ones this year. Not only do they keep our attention during the break from the game, but for most of them I laughed quite a bit. There are the expect ones like E-Trade, Bud Light, and Budweiser, but who saw they many Denny's commercials coming?! Although not very traditional, they certainly pulled it off, I just love chickens, and who doesn't love Denny's? :) My absolute favorite commercial this year was the trailor for the new Alice in Wonderland, I have been waiting over a year to even see this trailor let alone see the movie. It looks amazing, and I'm in love with Johnny Depp.
Enough of my ranting and raving, onto things that really matter. How does a commercial make it into the Super Bowl line up? Well first off Super Bowl 1, the cost of a 30 second commercial in 1967 was $42,500 on CBS and $37,500 on NBC. With this year CBS is asking for about $2.6 million dollars, just for a 30 second commercial. Nothing has been said for sure on what they have paid yet this year, but in 2006 they paid$2.5 million on ABC, which had 77,900,000 viewers that year.
