The article criticizes the increasing trend of celebrities appearing in Super Bowl commercials, arguing that it devalues artistic integrity and perpetuates a culture of selling out. The author expresses disappointment at seeing respected actors like Harrison Ford endorsing products in such a blatant manner.

This year’s Super Bowl was a mostly boring game of football with a great Kendrick Lamar concert in the middle. Of course, sprinkled liberally through out all of Super Bowl 59 were expensive commercials. And like in years past, nearly every ad included actors, musicians and other famous people selling out for a paycheck. Remember when used to bully celebs for hawking cars and beer? We should go back to doing that.

Watching Harrison Ford, an actor whom I really like and who has turned in some incredible performances, try to connect being a hero to owning a Jeep made me want to throw my TV out the window. Being assaulted with 20 different variations on “Actors and celebs behaving wacky while holding branded products” made me want to throw my phone out the window. I think what really drives me nuts about these ads is how transparently greedy it all is.
