Super Bowl!

The amount of money spent for one thirty second commercial during the Super Bowl is ridiculous. Advertisers spent about $3 million dollars for that time amount of time. Unfortunately, most of those advertisers aren't showing the viewers healthy things. A majority of the ads are focused on beer, fast food, and other junk foods. Why would the Super Bowl allow the advertisers to show off these commercials?

My honest opinion- They want money. That's really all the business of media is about, and they do not care what they showing to their viewers. The people who run the Super Bowl do not really care what's being showed during the commercial breaks, because they already made 3 million dollars for that thirty second slot. The advertisers do not care how the ads effect the viewers. They are only worried about how much of the viewers' money is going in their pockets.
