Round 2: Super Bowl Commercials

For this week's Round 2, Catherine and Terri chatted about Super Bowl commercials, including that super-buzz-kill-y Nationwide ad about how while you're watching the game, your kid's probably in the kitchen going through the hazardous chemicals. We talked about how, if you're going to run an ad that will traumatize children, you might want to not put a dog at the start of it; the difficulty of explaining that Fiat ad to kids; the halftime show starring lip-synching sharks; and the fun of watching the ads with Twitter accompaniment (shout-outs to @parksandrecnbc, @TheTonyAwards, and this tweet from Time columnist James Poniewozik). To view the ads we talked about, follow the links below, and then tell us in the comments what you liked and loathed.
