ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBAAAAAAAAAAAL?

So I watched the Super Bowl, well not really, my mom just called me downstairs for the commercials. The first commercial I watched was an AT&T commercial. Basically there was this dad who was away traveling on like business or something, and his little daughter and wife were at home. He would send them picture messages of something of the cool sites he was passing. Finally at the end of the commercial the dad returns home from his trip and the little girl meets him at the door and they hug. This commercial appealed to pathos by showing the young daughter and like how she seemed to miss her dad. So when I watched it I was like awww. But I think the logic of the commercial was that you can still keep in contact with your loved ones even if your away.
The other commercial I watched was a salesgenie.com. It was a cartoon about this distressed man who was being ferociously yelled at by his boss about not being able to boost his sales up. So the man types in his computer geniesales.com and it helps him to boost his sales. At the end of the commercial he's getting an award at this award ceremony with a lot of people. This commercial drew me in because it was a cartoon and so it made me want to watch it. And then I think the logic behind the commercial was that if you use this website and boost your sales then you could possibly be awarded. I don't know I think that's what it meant or something along those lines, but I actually don't really understand the point of it. Confusion. Kay Bye!
