Talking Superbowl Commercials...

Yes, this thread actually pertains to parrots.

In the video section, I've uploaded two clips that my husband sent to me. They are in RealPlayer format .wmv files - I didn't really have any problem viewing them in Windows Player, but your mileage may vary with your video player. They're in the video section under 'Brazilian Fighting Cockatoo' and 'Commercial 1'. Both commercials, I believe, are supposed to air during the Superbowl game, so I guess this is a preview for those of us who love birds. You know, in case you miss them during the commercial breaks by going to get snacks or something...

The Broncos aren't playing and my friend who hosted the Superbowl parties has moved to Oregon. So my interest in the game is far less than the advertising. As a marketing major, I think that this has to be (for Americans anyway) the pinnacle of TV advertising. And sadly, American advertising is nowhere near as brilliant or as inventive (or as racy or as sarcastic or too... realistic) as advertising from other parts of the world. Europe gets away with advertising that would have millions of outraged Midwesterners calling in to the network in protest . I love the Clio awards and if I can get a chance to watch them, I do so religiously.

This year, however, I think I'm glad that they found a place for a hard-working cockatoo and a harlequin macaw.
