Sports & Recreation > Football (Other) Fun facts about Super Bowl ads: 4 of 7
Superbowl ads are hands-down the best commercials to air all year. The only exception I can think of - that even comes close - would be the online site for the funniest commercials! It's such an oxymoron that there are some people who watch the superbowl just for the commercials - and that many want to make sure that they do... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Are high taxes on cigarettes fair?: 29 of 49
Uh.....yeah! Smoking (whether first-hand or second) is basically a recipe for a poor quality of life - it destroys everything.
