Superbowl Ad 2015

         The superbowl ad that was my personal favorite was the #LikeAGirl campaign. I loved that they used children and adults and showed how young adult women made fun of doing things like a girl and the young girls that were asked the same question did the actions as best as they could without thinking negatively about themselves, they never questioned what they could or could not do which is wonderful since we live in a male dominated society.  I loved this commercial the most because of the women empowerment is tells the viewers. Comparing to all of the commercials where the women are sexualized are just seen as a pretty face definitely showed me how shallow our country still is and that the saying "sex sells" is still relevant and somewhat true. I think they definitely got their point across when they asked the boy if he had offended his sister and he said not his sister, but other girls. But then again, what makes someone's sister different than other girls. I absolutely loved this commercial and definitely appreciated the feminism and equality of the sexes in it.

        Superbowl is definitely a place that most people pay attention to the commercials just as much as the game itself. Many people look forward to seeing what will be featured and are surprised when it's not sport related. I was surprised that they had an insurance company commercial rather than just a product or food place.
