I have already mentioned that I do really like commericials...good ones are great!  And too, the only real reason for watching the super bowl, other then to be with friends or family for it, is to see the commercials.  Ad agencies spend extra money on the creative to get a talked about ad...and of course the money for just one is crazy.  So that usually lends itself to some very good ones....usually!

This year tho, everyone seems to be "leaking" or at least super-teasing their upcoming ads for the game, rather then just waiting for the big day.  And I admit...it has worked on me somewhat!  I have already watched the Honda ad featuring Mathew Broderick as Ferris Bueller knock off.  It did make me laugh and reminded me of the classic movie...altho out of 2 and a half minutes....probably only about 30 seconds shows the car...the kicker being at the end of the spot.  AND....I did fall for a teaser too showing a Pepsi commerical...a coke guy trying to secretly buy a pepsi....only to win Pepsi for life and it features Regis in it too.  But now I just saw where Dannon is going to have a spot....and honestly, I think I will wait now.  No more peeking until SUnday.....just more fun that way! :)

No, its not a rant about too many commercials everywhere....in fact, I admit that I actually love commercials!  THe good ones at least...LOVE the superbowl ads because they are usually pretty good ones.  But even I have decided....that Ella, the 5 year old, is watching WAYYYY too much TV with her Dad....because she is now spouting off commercials in her regular day to day talk!!!

I am totally fine with her Dad watching TV during the day when she is home, we share watching the kids so I know that he gets tired and just wants to watch tv...but man, he has GOT to get her doing something else!

This past summer at a swimming party at my parents neighbors house, it was funny and yet odd, when she was singing loudly from the end of the pool that Nationwide is on your siiiideeeee......or when I go to clean the house and she informs me that I should get OxyClean to help me clean the tough stains....but this morning on the ride to my parents house....she informed me that we shouldn't have direct tv ( and we don't) because you can save so much more with the Dish network plan!  You can use the money you save for your house, your job or your kids!!! :)

So, either she needs to stop watching so much TV with Dad....or these companies better start sending her money for her personal endorsements of their products!!!!

I think I actually saw this at one of our Walmarts the other weekend.....but it didn't really sink in, until I saw the article on it all.   Walmart is now a place to get your taxes done too!!!   So you can pick up milk....dog food...and file your taxes all at the same place!!  Now that I think back, there was a small line for this too on the northside!!!
