(Non scientific Blog)

This week's blog, in honor of the Super Bowl, will be about the one thing that keeps people watching the Super Bowl. Its not the football unless you support one of the two teams, its not the fans, its the commericals. The Super Bowl Commericals are one of the greatest parts of this magical Sunday, so we may as well get to know a bit about them. Here are a few facts about them. in 2001, there were 69 ads shown, at a cost of 2 million dollars each. Now, in 2012, there will be 75 ads shown, at a cost of 3 million per 30 seconds. In the past few years, the commericals have become hearing impaired friendly, as last year, just 17 of the 65 ads were captioned, and millions of deaf Americans were unable to share in the hilarity. One funny thing about Super Bowl ads is last year, while the commiercals in and of themselves were fantastic, not many people remember what the commericials were for due to a lack of branding. Many were dotcom companies just trying to get their name and face on the market, but kind of forgot to focus on making people remember who they are and what product they offered. Because of that, many experts say that this year, the Super Bowl ads will return to their previous states, with many marketable name brands, people, and recognizable attributes, which may make this year a little more boring. Instead of a picture this week, I will be posting a highlight of the best superbowl commericals.
