Superbowl ads feel older than The Who

So I was going to start this Monday morning off with a good old fashioned rant about the Superbowl ads that ran last night, but it turns out someone already did it for me. Over at the Denver Egotist there’s a great post called “Superbowl Ads Can Go Suck a Tailpipe,” and you should just go read that, because it says everything there is to say.

As the [unattributed] author points out, the Superbowl ads are “not advertising. In fact, they’re a freak show of advertising.” Most weren’t truly creative in any way, and the spots that were stood out on their own merit (we’re talking to you, Google). But the good ones were few and far between, and the over-the-top stunt advertising feels tired and overdone (bravo, Pepsi, for bowing out this year).

Oh well. At least the game was good. And The Who (or, the surviving members, anyway) may be old, but they pulled out a rocking performance (with the help of a few whippersnappers and a totally insane light show).

Happy Monday, folks!  Mashable has all the ads, if you’re looking to check ‘em out…
