The Best and Worst Super Bowl Ads
As seems to be the case just about every year, it was the Super Bowl ads that kept audiences glued to television screens.

A woman — not counting Danica Patrick and the Doritos singer girl, the first woman protagonist in an ad tonight — sits depressed at her work station, watching her boss laugh it up in his office, watching TV and eating a lobster. Her heart bursts out of her chest and lands beating on the keyboard, runs into the boss' office and holds up an "I QUIT" sign. Tag: "Follow your heart." Disgusting, and beautiful.
