    These ads will probably (*)(*)(*)(*) off so many people here! How wonderful! Let's discuss why so many big companies are on our side and not yours!

    "The Super Bowl is not just about football. In fact, most people get more excited about the commercials. Whether good, bad or controversial, even after the game, people are still talking about these memorable ads.

    For all those who missed it, you've come to the right place. From Joe Flacco the “party pooper” to DJ Khaled the “personal trainer,” these celebrity-infused ads are hilarious, witty and top-notch. For many companies, Super Bowl ads are an opportunity to change how their brands are perceived -- in fact, nearly 40 percent of people say that these ads have the power to do that, according to data by ad network MGID."

    Hmmmm... I wonder why a lumber company would be biased towards a source of a cheep underpaid labor force in the form of illgal immigrants. No way they have any reason other then humanitarian ones to be "on your side."

    And why would a car company want women to drive their cars?

    If the Muslim refugees that Trump and most Americans want to ban had their way...no women would be allowed to drive any cars.

    Ever see those Liberty Insurance car commercials where it's always a minority talking with the Statue of Liberty behind them and they talk about their car accident? Why does Liberty Insurance think minorities can't drive?

    Curious why the left is suddenly protective of corporate interests?

    Captain obvious calling his opponent a sore loser (it was a kid), which is exactly Captain Obvious as in - you butt sore losers are acting like children.

    They are Wall Street types lined up behind Hillary and these ads weren't shot yesterday. Next.

    What the hell is wrong with 84 lumber. Maybe they should do a commercial celebrating bank robbery or identity theft. Oh I know selling drugs to kids. It's one thing to do a commercial with a cause in mind, it's quite another to do one celebrating criminal behavior

    Shirley you're not talking about companies on your side, are you? It's not companies, it's the owners, the CEOs, the boards of those companies, in other words the 1 percenters, whose views are reflected in those commercials and that they're on your side goes without saying ....

    Cause the employees, the workers of those companies spoke loud and clear on November 8th, not during superbowl commercial breaks. Duh

    Yes. I understand the Audi ad had been shot back when it was assumed Hillary was going to win. They wanted to do their virtue signaling at the Super Bowl.

    BTW, hear the Audi and VW are in for another round of fines for faking emissions tests? Don't know if I want that to be the representative of women's rights. Things go so bad so quickly for the anti-American left.

    What does your bragging that the ruling classes, 1 percenters, lobbysts and special interests are on "your side" sound like?

    You can go to their website as I did and send them a message that you do not support companies that support and encourage illegal immigration and that you will gladly drive past their store and go somewhere else in the future.

    Winning.

    Oh, I'm sure your criticisms will fall in deaf ears.

    I would think that women's rights and being anti-environment are two things that are opposed. Think of it like hedging.

    Winning as in outraising and outspending the opponent by a 10 to 1 ratio and losing 30 states, 85% of the counties and the election? :roflol:

    counties don't vote, people do.

    all that matters is the number of people who voted and states won.

    Having outraised and outspent Trump by 10 to 1 ratio (never mind free pro-Hillary MSM PAC), you lost the electoral vote, the states and counties by a landslide.

    no one counts the number of counties won. why? cause many counties have fewer than 100 people.

    all that matters is states and voters.

    You think I am the only one and that marketing departments don't track responses?

    I guess the highways would be a tad safer. (That's what you were trying to say right?)
