Ahh finally back after having no home access to the computer due to a nasty little virus for a week. It was like the cat from that old schoolyard song…you know it came back the very next day.

Well what a week it’s been. I am sure by now everyone is done with their Super Bowl hangovers. Outside of Pittsburgh and Arizona, everyone tuned in for the commercials – and I’m sure some viewers in Arizona were wishing they saw the commercials. (more…)

While I see this as a purely brilliant campaign that appeals to the masses of potty-adolescent minded people of the world like me, there have been some who disagree with the bold verbiage. The most popular were over on Commercials I Hate Forum and Cayenne Lemonade.

Do you think the wording is too offensive?

UPDATE – Here is the commercial
