They seemed unremarkable this year, except the Emerald Nuts/Robert Goulet commercial, which is just awesome. Although the bizarro Coke vending-machine thing made me wonder whether they started putting drugs in Coke again.

(The Emerald Nuts website has all sorts of Goulet silliness: http://www.emeraldnuts.com/)

We live in a world without a sense of humor. You put up some lite brites and someone says you're a hoax terrorist. Geez. Ads generally reflect society and as a society we're not so good at present.

When an ad featuring Kevin Federline turns out to be a bright spot then you must question whether you live in a society in decay.

There were few memorable ones this year. I agree.

The Pet shop with the mouse was ok. Don't remember product though.

Without hijacking the thread I would like to point out that a bridge and Hospital here in Boston had fake pipe bombs found the same day. If I saw a lite-brite with a box wrapped in Gaff, wires and batteries, I may have been curious too. That even the local media threw that on page 11 is a competely different topic.

That Turner Broadcasting paid off the government to the tune of 2 million dollars, locally, and bought the law is ridiculous.

I like the Bud light ad where the guy trew the rock too.

Uninspired from past years. The Coke spot was wild.

I myself liked the "1-31-07 Never Forget" response in the "Public Reaction" section.

The ridiculous thing about Turner is that CNN was frothing about how lucky they were to be covering a mysterious plot to market a different media product of their parent company. Now that's embarrassing. If I were running Turner, I'd be more concerned about being a laughingstock than about fines and such.

Well, Bear, the charges of "Hoax Device" are apparently written with intent in the law. The D.A. has more or less conceded intent of the devices was not to cause fear. So that'll probly not stick.

I liked this spot in the Super Bowl too.
