Heck, most commercials are pretty dumb anyway, aren't they?<br /><br />Alex - Yep, I married a Steeler fan and became one myself, even though I grew up loving the Rams. At least they're not in the same conference!<br /><br />Jeff - Oh goodness, how I hate those caveman ads. They still show those, too! Yep, big budget. Wonder if they could spare a million or two? **holding hand out**Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-85693735767562039452016-09-19T19:14:27.749-04:002016-09-19T19:14:27.749-04:00Confession--never seen the commercial in question,...Confession--never seen the commercial in question, though I *do* know who Ice T is. The question I have is if you are the target market for that ad--if you are, and you don't know who Ice T is (and if you are representative of the target market), then I'd call the ad a fail. Pass or fail, it's got to be better than the caveman commercials, right?<br /><br />I remember once a couple years back being surprised at a Geico ad that wasn't with the lizard, and then noticing how many different ad campaigns they seemed to be running at a time. They must have one heck of an advertising budget.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-59731435997676804612016-09-19T17:30:31.993-04:002016-09-19T17:30:31.993-04:00Steeler fan!
