No INT that time. ---

Enjoyed the polar bear in a sombrero. After Kate Upton’s boobs, that’s the highlight of the commercials so far for me. ---

Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer Kate Upton’s face more than her boobs. ---

Wow, that was a downer. Thanks, nationwide. Is it really worth $2 million to make half the population of the U.S. associate your brand with dead kids? ---

Yeah, I came in here to bitch about the Nationwide commercial. Thanks for putting it so succintly: when I think of Nationwide, I now vaguely feel that they’re trying to kill my kid. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > ETA: first half seems to have flown by, by American football standards. It has, and especially by Super Bowl standards. Of course, now we’re heading into the two minute slowdown. Even so, I imagine the musical performers are having to get ready earlier than they expected. ---

Kudos to Josh McDaniels for developing a dink and dunk offensive scheme that has worked against Seattle.
