    My annoyance this year was the movie ads. “These ad slots are too expensive so go watch the full trailer online.”

    Why should I lift a finger for something not worth outright selling me on?

    This is the first year in over a decade I missed the Super Bowl. And honestly? No regrets.

    My friends said the game was ass. The ads were ass. Why watch?

    I blame SuperBowl ads in part for the current onslaught of nonstop advertising that has crept into every little corner of our lives. Ad makers saw how people began to compare how cute and witty SuperBowl ads were, and it became their Cannes. Then they manufactured a whole subculture around competitive advertising, and said, “Look, people love seeing ads! Forget any ethics we ever had about invasive advertising, people love this shit! Let’s stick it in their faces everywhere they look and they’ll love it even more!”
