No, not the Super Bowl (but it is that as well). I mean the 2010 Winter Olympics!

And what does that have to do with advertising you ask?

Ever pay much attention to the "uniforms" of the different nations? Here are a few interesting ones to refresh your memory.

But this year Ralph Lauren designed them for the Americans. Remember how small the little polo player logo is on your RL shirt. Check it out now!

I guess Ralph really wants everyone to know who designed it? Or maybe every U.S. Olympic Team member is actually on the U.S. polo team? Including the winter team?

I sure hope they don't flip their collars up like that! Who decided that was cool? It isn't!

It's that time again! II

This time I am talking about the Super Bowl and its commercials.

This one is from our old friend Doritos and was "banned". Not too hard to see why.

Evidently this one from Doritos made the cut.

And here is Go Daddy's "banned" commercial Lola.

I didn't know Bret had recovered from the whoop-ass the Who Dats put on him.

And there will be more to come....

Saints Win! Who dat?

Monday morning and New Orleans is recovering from an all night party. Many schools and business are closed or experiencing high absenteeism.

I predicted a win for the Saints by 7 and missed by a half. They clearly showed they have what it takes to be world champions. In the second half of the game you saw the powerhouse Saints with their mojo back. It was an impressive performance.

The Super Bowl commercials were not as good as in years past but there were a few winners. if you want to see them all, Ad Age has them up for your viewing pleasure.

Who dat?!
