84 Lumber Super Bowl Commercial – Complete The Journey
It was a building materials company that made what will likely prove to be one of the most controversial or at least talked-about ads from Sunday night"s Super bowl game. the commercial, made by 84 Lumber, tells the story of a Hispanic mother and daughter making the treacherous journey north to the United States. The story was initially rejected by Fox for being "too controversial for T.V.," forcing the company to edit it and cut it down.

The company is headquartered outside of Pittsburgh and operates more than 250 stores across the U.S.
