Super Bowl XLIII Ad Reaction- 2009 Wrap-Up
Posted by Erica DeWolf on February 6, 2009
All in all, I think there were some very effective and entertaining ads in this year’s Super Bowl. The ads were a great hit! I want to share with you my favorites, in no particular order, from this year’s super bowl, and I hope you’ll share yours with me, as well!
See you next year!
Dorito’s “Free Doritos” Ad, Created by the winner of the Crash The Super Bowl Contest
One of the biggest reasons I like this ad is because it is user generated content- it was created by a contestant in the Crash the Super Bowl Contest.
Bud Light Conan Swedish Ad
The premise is that Conan O’Brien is persuaded to appear in an odd Bud Light ad that would only air in Sweden, but it airs in Times Square in NYC. I love Conan O’Brien, so this cracked me up.
Mr. Potato Head Bridgestone Tires
This is just nostalgic and makes me giggle.

I’m not sure why I liked this one so much, but it was clever and deserved to be on my list.
I liked many others, but didn’t want to bombard you with even more videos!! What did you think? What were your favorites and why?

There was a twist of genuine irony in the Conan Ad.
The Presidential election was held in Finland a few years back. Conan has an uncanny resemblance to the , then candidate, and soon elected President.
The entire season on Conan noted the president’s increase in popularity paralleled Conan’s increase in popularity in Finland. They love him there.
Conan deadpanned the “look alike” as pictures from the Finns were put in the paper. Conan’s face, hair, haircolor, literally everything, is identical to the President of Finland. Except one thing.
The President of Finland who is a dead ringer for Conan is a WOMAN, named Tarja HALONEN.
There is a belief that Conan’s popularity with the Finn’s got Tarja elected. Check these pictures and see how Conan could be President of Finland:

Tarja and Conan have since met and swapped Finn jokes.
I thought the Superbowl ad making Conan have a contract with Sweden was “convincible” due to his extraordinary relationship with all of Scandinavia. Conan is a hero over there, and the pitch for the ad to be there alone was convincing, because of events in real life.

Advertise on Your Vehicle For Cash – How to Earn Money From Car Advertising!
Advertising on your vehicle for cash may sound too good to be true, but the truth is that the opportunity to earn money by placing ads on your car is nothing new. More than 15 years ago many companies were trying to find new ways to gain exposure for their products, because billboard advertising was becoming more and more saturated.
That’s when the idea to try advertising on vehicles was born.
This method was much more cost-effective than all the others. According to a study that took place in Chicago, one car with an ad on it, was viewed by more than 40,000 in a single day while driving around the city. And what was the cost for this kind of advertisement? Less than $30 to get 40,000 “impressions”!
As you can see, there are some very good reasons for a company to use this method, but the question is why should you?
The answer is pretty obvious. This is one of the easiest ways in the world to make money, because you don’t actually need to do anything different than normally. You can continue to drive to work, to the gym, to the grocery store and in general you can continue to live your life as usually and getting paid at the same time.
If this sounds like a dream to you, you are probably right.
The problem is that there are certain requirements you should meet for your application to get accepted: they only hire people who are at least 18 years old, own a driver’s license, drive a lot every month and have a good driving record. Sometimes you may even be asked to install a GPS system in your car, because some companies may want to track your mileage. Also, you need to keep in mind that maintenance and insurance will be your own responsibility.
So, let’s say you meet the above requirements, but you don’t own a car. Can you join the program? The surprising answer is yes! You just need to find a company that gives away free cars to people who agree to advertise their services or products. Of course if you take this option, then you obviously won’t get a monthly salary.
In case you are a car owner, then you can earn $500-$3,200 a month. The amount of money you can make depends on: how much you drive and what kind of vehicle you own (you probably won’t get more than $800 if you have a regular-sized vehicle). On the other hand, if you own a truck or a van your salary can climb up to $3,200.
