    This spot was actually ranked near the bottom by USA TODAY’s Super Bowl Ad Meter focus group, a fact which calls my headline here into question.
    Also, I’m reflecting on the DM session Dr. Wolk and I just conducted and we have starkly different views, as well. This is SUper Bowl advertising. There’s no reason to seek consensus. But I do find it interesting how personal matters of taste are.
