(Feb. 2, 2015) Some people come for the game, some come for the food, some come for the halftime show and others come just for the commercials.
Super Bowl XLIX offered a little something for everyone, including celebrity cameos, humor and commercials that tugged at the heartstrings.
Of course, it wouldnt be the Super Bowl without some controversy. Nationwide took it on the chin for its ad, which featured a child recounting the experiences he missed in life because he died in an accident. Social media reaction to the commercial was so severe, Nationwide issued a statement:
Preventable injuries around the home are the leading cause of childhood deaths in America. Most people dont know that. Nationwide ran an ad during the Super Bowl that started a fierce conversation. The sole purpose of this message was to start a conversation, not sell insurance. We want to build awareness of an issue that is near and dear to all of us-the safety and well being of our children. We knew the ad would spur a variety of reactions. In fact, thousands of people visited MakeSafeHappen.com, a new website to help educate parents and caregivers with information and resources in an effort to make their homes safer and avoid a potential injury or death. Nationwide has been working with experts for more than 60 years to make homes safer. While some did not care for the ad, we hope it served to begin a dialogue to make safe happen for children everywhere.
