I was making no special effort to watch the game, but there really was nothing else good to watch. I tuned in for about 5 minutes early and saw an M&Ms commercial and watched the first TD of the game. Then I turned it. After putting the kids to bed I turned it on during the final 2 minutes and saw Philly kick the final FG of the game. After that my TV blacked the ending of the game out because the show scheduled to come on at 9:15 exceeded the ratings limits allowed in my home.

Same here. I have been watching every year that I can remember. I did skip it the year I was in Saudi during Desert Storm. The NFL's hypocritical position on "political messages" was the final straw. It also doesn't hurt that the most prolific cheaters in NFL history are one of the teams playing.

Yeah, they didn't really seem to care about political messages in the super bowl ads last year...

I'm sure that none of the ads will be political this year, right? right?

That ads aren't even impressive anymore anyway, because it's too easy to create a good ad with modern technology. It's just about celebrity cameos for the most part now, and the majority of Americans don't care for the Hollywood elites anymore either.
