BAMF Of The Week: Car Commercials

CAR COMMERCIALS

Yeah. I said it. Car commercials. Like the great mind Matty V., I felt like I had to do something dedicated to the wowness that was the Superbowl this year. Normally, I'm not that big of a football fanatic, but this time around I actually paid attention and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. What I was NOT pleasantly surprised by was how hard the commercials sucked this year. Every other year, I was one of those people who flipped on the Superbowl, got all excited when it was time for commercials, and then went and entertained myself while the actual game was on. And this year, I've got to say, I was not impressed.

I know a few people who hate car commercials, and they're all in the feminine side of the race. Which is probably because car commercials are pure and utter testosterone. A good car commercial will:

2. Have a rock song with a heavy beat.
