Super Bowl Ads of Cartoonish Violence, Perhaps Reflecting Toll of War
By STUART ELLIOTT

No commercial that appeared last night during Super Bowl XLI directly addressed Iraq, unlike a patriotic spot for Budweiser beer that ran during the game two years ago. But the ongoing war seemed to linger just below the surface of many of this year’s commercials.

More than a dozen spots celebrated violence in an exaggerated, cartoonlike vein that was intended to be humorous, but often came across as cruel or callous.

For instance, in a commercial for Bud Light beer, sold by Anheuser-Busch, one man beat the other at a game of rock, paper, scissors by throwing a rock at his opponent’s head.

If a man just wants to get into your knickers what does he do? And what does he do if he genuinely likes you? (I know they both have the same goal but do players act differently to gentlemen?)

Ok so why do you guys seem to live your whole lives for this one day?

Guys if you think that women go way to far with weddings please weigh in.

Isn't it supposed to be about the life you guys will have together not the 50k you spent on the ceromony?

I know this sounds gross but I need help. This is baby number 3. She is now 8 months old. She only nurses a few times a day now. I have noticed that between feedings my nipples are so dry. They have flaky skin on them that peels off when touched. They are just so dry. I have used Palmer's Cocoa butter but it only soothes them, it doesn't make the dry skin go away. Thanks so much for you advice!!! :)

My husband and I are thinking of Marissa Claire for our baby (if it's a girl). We have a two-syllable last name, so I thought it sounded kind of nice. My parents didn't seem that excited, though.

Please let me know what you think!

Why is it that male and female sexual genetics are going backwards everywhere you look? Men pretending to be (and acting like women? Women pretending to be (and acting like men)? In the media. In school districts. In higher education. No only is it going backwards-these people are proud of themselves, and so are the people who support them. This is the kind of thing that will leads to world war 3.

Anyone see this special on the history channel? They have so many similarities and deep ties with one another its crazy. Why do the Lib-bots often compare Bush to Hitler when its crystal clear there is no connection?

We bouhgt a 57 yea old cape. The problem is that the owners never installed any heating upstairs. The previous owner installed ducts for the central air but never installed any heating as well. Any ideas about how we can get heating up there. The lowest cost alternative would be best.
