So, the supposedly crazy-controversial commercial for Christian pro-life organization Focus on the Family—featuring crybaby bible-thumping quarterback Tim Tebow—has arrived. And how is it?
Meh. More exciting is this photoshop of Snooki in Sarah Palin’s hand. Get it? Because her cribnotes are supposed to be there?
Anyway. It wasn’t really that substantial and people have already forgotten about it, because Betty White’s Snickers commercial absolutely killed it.
“It” being, you know, the commercial break. Not..nevermind.

Whoever is the mastermind behind these Snickers commercials must be my twin in the head. Their Super Bowl commercial starred Betty White, and now there’s another one starring Queen Chichis herself Aretha Franklin (featuring Liza M).Aretha in a Snickers commercial actually makes more sense than Betty White in one. Because when Aretha squeezes one of her nipples, a full-size Snickers bar comes popping out.via ONTDVia [...]

It goes without saying that my favorite ad from last night’s Super Commercial Bowl 2010 was Betty White’s commercial for Snickers. Betty White is like bacon. Her presence makes everything better. That being said, Snickers did get it a little twisted. Betty White could murder a herd of Khloe Kardashians just by flinching, so I didn’t appreciate that “you’re playing like Betty White” line. More like you’re NOT playing like Betty White.The rest of [...]
