SuperBowl Ads Wrap Up

You can read my thoughts about the SuperBowl ads here. But there are others who put it better than I do. Ernie Shenk's thoughts are here. Bob Garfield's review is here. And Marc Babej has a few things to say as well, here. USAToday's Ad Meter wrap up is here and David Kiley's BusinessWeek blog adds a few thoughts as well, here. Finally, the guys at Adverlicious were good enough to provide this link, where you can see all the ads and form your own opinions.

There are others at AdFreak, AdRants, and at American Copywriter. Take a look (or a listen, as in the case of the last link).

Showing football players practicing how they would...

Taking On Seth. Again. Take a look at the blog rolls on your favorite business blogs and you'll find one link on just about all of them. Seth Godin is a must read for many. That's because, every once in a while, he says something interesting and pithy. But almost as often he says something silly. And when he does, Being Reasonable is there to point it out. Again. And again. And again. Here's my take: Seth doesn't filter his thoughts. When you listen to him you get the good and the bad. Some ideas are stellar. Others less so. Permission Marketing was a pretty good read. But I thought Free Prize Inside was less than remarkable. I liked The Big Moo, but disliked...
