    As the prices of all the good we purchase continue to go up and up, companies are paying this year 5.5 million dollars for a 30 second spot, that is 11 million dollars a minute. New years is long gone but it is never too late to make a resolution. My goal is to not purchase any products from companies that buy ad time during the Super Bowl.

    Doing my part to keep prices down. Hopefully there are not hunting products advertising.

    I don't understand this premise. When did paying money to invest in your company become a bad thing?


    Why does it matter how much it costs?

    $5.5 million may sound like a lot of money to spend on a piece of marketing. But for a number of Fortune 500 corporations it might as well be a nickel, as their annual marketing budgets are in the Billions.

    I heard the Packers bought a spot because they really wanted to be on during the Super Bowl :evilgrin:

    I heard the Vikings tried the same thing but choked on the way to pay for it.

    Not watching this year. Goodell has not only ruined the game with rules, but his and the players' political activism is also nauseating. Lady Gaga at halftime? She hasn't even had a decent selling album in over 5 years, not to mention her activism. Showing up at a Hillary rally in a Nazi uniform? Oh, the irony.
    Gag me... no thanks.

    I will not watch another snap of an NFL game if she uses the halftime show as a political platform.

    Patriots fan and your just mad I thought of it first :evilgrin:

    I am not surprised about that part though you Packer fans aren't very original you use the same 2 or 3 lines over and over and over again!

    No we are just so used to having to remind viking fans that they suck.
