What did you think of the dogs in the Super Bowl commercials?
I liked that Bud Light squeezed a plug for adopting rescue dogs into the "Weego" commercial, but think Skechers was *really* tone-deaf in its Mr. Quiggly (French Bulldog) ad, which implicitly endorses Greyhound racing. In the last few decades, as the public comes to know what nice pets Greyhounds are, and the miserable conditions they endure at racing kennels and tracks, it has increasingly turned its back on dog tracks and the numbers of fans, and tracks, have plummeted. The ad was filmed at Tucson Greyhound Park, which is one of the country's worst. Last week a committee of the Arizona legislature voted unanimously to phase out dog racing in their state. Skechers was informed many months ago of dog lovers' objections to Greyhoung racing, but refused requests to pull the ad.
