Nevertooold - 2015-02-02 4:57 PM We did't watch so we are seeing some of the commercials being raked over by the media. I find it absurd that Nationwide is getting so much bad press because it's a reality commercial

instead of living in the world of make me believe. If this upsets people so much I would say that is why they don't watch the news and know what is going because they sure wouldn't like that reality..LOL

I didn't like the Nationwide commercial because it made me think of all the people across the U.S. who had probably recently just lost a child and instead of being able to get away from that for a little while, escape reality and enjoy the game, it got pushed in their face just so Nationwide could sell insurance. I'm also sure that some parents who had lost an older child were already thinking this was the first year they were watching the Superbowl without their son or daughter and it was hard anyway . . . they didn't need to have that thrown at them.

They were actually trying to make a statement that so many accidents are preventable. I wonder how many parents were drinking and watching the game and didn't have a clue what their kids were doing and where their kids were? Accidents happen...not paying attention to what your kids are doing happens way too much. JMHO

I understand what the premise of the commercial was and why they made it. I just wish they had elected to air it at a different time and place.

I had to watch a good friend of mine who just had a miscarriage digest that commercial. This was the first time we had been able to get her and her husband out of the house since it happened before Christmas. Our Superbowl party weekend was about getting them back to normal and looking forward to the future. That commercial was like getting a kick in the teeth. She wasn't smiling and laughing as much after that.

I know Nationwide did it to start a conversation about accidential deaths and the need to avoid them. It shouldn't have been a surprise though to see how such a commercial would affect others who had lost children in other ways and how that might affect them watching it.

I was told there was also a commercial about domestic violence. Why isn't anyone talking about that? Maybe the woman that just got the crap beat out of her went to a Super Bowl party to get away also.
