Banned! These ads are too racy for the Super Bowl

something tells me that these ads are produced with the intention of getting banned, and then being distributed on the strength of their publicity.

OK the veggie one may be a bit too "entertaining" for mixed company I have to admit but what the hell, it's just skin.

it all has to do with audience segment and time. this is prime time television and a mixed gender, all-age audience.

normally, these ads would be saved for late night so that advertisers would presumptively get a better return on their investments by targeting messages to appropriate viewers.

however, the super bowl breaks this in that it is a HUGE random sampling and a chance to run brand ads that are provocative and generate buzz. apparently, this means no holds barred for content.

i am not in favor of censorship, but do question the business relevance. there is a way to generate buzz that doesn't involve sex.

They are way off for Bowl!

Is this all because of Janets wardrobe malfunction?

Those Ashley Madison ads advertise "An Affair to Remember." They state that people use them to have extramarital affairs... Now I don't care who does what and whether or not they are married, but the superbowl is kind of family programming, and I think most parents do not want to have to explain that one to their kids... It's still dumb that you can parade tits on a stick in the form of Victoria's Secret models all over the tv, but this is worth censoring...

I guess this debunks the claims that the PETA ad was was not allowed not because of the content, but because it was, in fact, too sexual.

Hah that Go daddy shit is funny...

When I read something like this I have to laugh. We can watch people getting blown away by guns, sliced by knives and axes, eaten by dinosaurs etc. in graphic detail on nightly prime time television but GOD FORBID if anyone tries to put something with a little sex (or cursing) on TV . Americans have some seriously twisted values.

oh what happened to the wholesome 1950's american values?

The Go Daddy ads are funny, a little perverted for younger minds, but a least they have some wit, as opposed to the witless PETA one.

The commercials are still being shown, aren't they--I mean here and other sites. So what's the dif? It's just that they're today and not on the Big Day.
