Superbowl Ads Were Politically Motivated
The Superbowl has came and gone and it appears that a good number of the $5 Million dollar Superbowl ads had a Political message. One of the most noticeable ads was the construction company 84 Lumber’s pro immigration ad. The ad shows a mother and her daughter struggling as they travel to the border. The ad was so controversial that edits had to be made to cut out parts showing an huge wall with a large door opening. You can see the entire ad here.
Budweiser also had one of the most politically motivated ads titled “Born the Hard Way”. The ad follows one of the co-founder Adolphus Busch as he journeys from Germany to St. Louis, Missouri where he meets his partner Eberhard Anheuser and drinks some beer.
While Budweiser insists that the ad has nothing to do with today’s political controversy and is just a universal store that is relevant today. In fact the ad was made before the election however due to the timing and events anyone who saw the ad pretty much thinks the same thing “Politically Motivated”! It even goes as far as some of the Right-wings calling for a Budweiser boycott.
