APOCALYPTIC SuperBowl Sunday 2012 Ad: Fearmongering Any?

reply to post by ignant


funniest advert i've seen in years

The amount of alien movies coming it's not surprising the use the concept for other advertising purposes.

That being said, I had a little chevy cavalier that probably would have survived the apocalypse, it survived my teenage years. Granted, it wasn't as pretty as it first was, but I only ever had to replace an alternator once and it always ran and sounded beautifully.

I thought it was brilliant actually
So, there was the raining frogs, the alien craft crashed, the super volcano (got to rewatch it, but I think there was a meteorite also). References to zombieland (twinkies), references to 2012 (the burger dude),

Pretty sure they surfed on ATS to get ideas.

That is marketing I can appreciate if I must be exposed to it...make it clever and funny at least.

Considering they threw in nearly every type of conspiracy theory event imaginable into it -- including Twinkies will survive the apocalypse -- why not have Biblical references?

I saw: Giant Robot head, Meteors, Volcanoes, UFOs, Frogs and a reference to the Mayans.

Clever except the ending in my opinion. A good jab at Ford, but it falls flat I think.

EDIT TO ADD: Saturn you punk! You just beat me to the references -- Minus the Bob's Big Boy! Damn...

They are.

Plague of frogs (צְּפַרְדֵּעַ)
This is what the great LORD says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs. The Nile will teem with frogs. They will come up into your palace and your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and on your people, and into your ovens and kneading troughs. The frogs will go up on you and your people and all your officials.

Plagues of egypt

Incidently, not sure how effective a plague this would be. Frog legs are good eating

I threw up a little in my mouth pressing the "star" button...but it was well deserved.

MSM, TV, radio, books, magazines, music, movies, preachers and toys will beat 2012 until it will no longer resembles a horse. Dead and decimated. It would just be too ironic with too many "I told you so"'s for something major to happen. If it happens April 2031 then it would be ironic on a normal scale. And Jani Lane would not be around to say "HA HA".
