Super Bowl ads that are likely to generate some commotion (Video)

This year's Super Bowl is already generating more heat and light than most editions of the Big Game, primarily because of Deflategate, which is not a flashpoint only in the minds of Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and the most blindered of New England fans. But come Monday morning, the much-ballyhooed ads that fill the time between timeouts, penalties, and periods will also be grist for water cooler conversations.

Here's one that will be shown tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTJT3fVv1vU Procter & Gamble’s spot for its feminine protection products, which attempts to illustrate what it means to "do things like a girl," such as throwing a ball, will probably get flak from the "no-gender" crowd. (And, no, P&G did not ask Barack Obama to demonstrate his "pitching motion.") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJou3cPN-NA Ever wonder what happened to long-time “Today” show Bryant Gumbel? Yeah, me neither. He and former co-host Katie Couric, now a columnist for Yahoo News, help sell Beemers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1jwWwJ-Mxc Is it possible to have Super Bowl without a Kardashian?
