    I think it was execrable that officials chose to run this ad in Texas. I know that people cheat, but do we really need commercials encouraging them to do so?

    My wife flipped the f*** out when she saw it, didn't want to watch the rest of the SB after it aired.

    Apparently, Texas is one of the few places in the nation that allowed it to run. Canada nixed the ad altogether.

    See, people in Canada just aren't progressive enough. The rest of the world, like Texas, is laughing at them. So Victorian of them. Everyone does it, so it's no big deal. You guys are so stuck in the past.

    They didn't show it here in MN and I'm also suprised that this company would spend the money to show it during the Superbowl. This seems like something better shown on late night TV along with the ads for dating lines.

    Regarding Superbowl commercials I still think they should've shown the PETA commercial. I didn't find that one much worse than the Go Daddy commercials.

    Had y'all ever heard of ashleymadison.com before seeing the ad or did you browse to it afterward? I watched the video you posted and the commercial itself didn't seem that bad. We see worse in other commercials and network TV everyday. I had to look up ashleymadison.com and I can see where y'all would think it was in poor taste.

    Are you kidding? Men watching late night TV is not an appealing audience. As opposed to the single day when men all crowd around the TV with often nagging wives in the background complaining about this event? This would be the perfect time to show it.

    I live in Nacogdoches, and I believe they showed a local ad on top of it. I didn't see it.

    I think the worst commercial was the McGruber one. man that was lame.

    Go Daddy was horrific. McGruber was also a terrible decision for ad spending. Whoa.

    MacGruber was terrible compositionally. I don't know if it was ineffective as marketing.

    GoDaddy has jumped the shark.

    Appealing or not men watching late night TV are likely to be the type of people who use this service. Since they are either lonely guys looking to score and if they think there are married women out there willing to cheat will use it or else they are married men getting ready to spend the night on the couch because they have been kicked out of bed by their wives or can't stand their wives enough to want to sleep on the couch.

    Saturday Night Live showed that exact same commercial and I thought it was an SNL skit not an actual commercial. I'm wondering how much SNL got out of it.
