Didn't watch the Super Bowl. But an ad is a stupid thing to upset over.
Much ado about nothing.

That ad was excellent; gun accidents would have been a good addition.

The NRA has always stressed gun safety and has safety education programs specifically for youth.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

I hope it doesn't reflect too poorly on me and my friends that we cracked up laughing at the nationwide commercial and couldn't stop until the next commercial break...

It's just... you know... we're expecting one thing, then get another... it's funny...

The other one we cracked up for was "LocTite glue saved our marriage"

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Everyone hates a downer when they expect to laugh.

That's why I stay mildly depressed and don't watch TV. Less disappointment.

But Game of Thrones!

Update: At school today, it was briefly mentioned among the students. Some were merely surprised, and some laughed. So, most Americans probably aren't actually butthurt. Stupid Twitter twits.

I mean, the majority of Super Bowl commercials were SO depressing this year... but should an advertiser actually have to deal with "backlash" because of it? Stupid!

Quote:Nationwide Insurance faces backlash over depressing Super Bowl child death ad

Quote:A major US insurance company found itself on the defensive Monday after its sobering Super Bowl ad about children who die in preventable accidents triggered a social media backlash.

Nationwide said it wanted to raise awareness about accidental childhood deaths, which experts say occur about once every hour in the United States.

“I couldn’t grow up because I died from an accident,” says a young boy in the ad, after regretting he will never be able to ride a bike, get married or travel the world.

Haunting images follow — of an overflowing bathtub, cleaning solvents under a kitchen sink, and a large flat-screen television set that fell onto the floor.

Assholes.

Look for Nationwide's next ad to say "WE SAVE PUPPIES."
If this is the ad then it's pretty shit TBH.

I don't see how anyone will take it seriously.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

Made me think of this promo scene from Billy Murray's Scrooged.
