Career Builder's Monkey Business

Funny Super Bowl commercials are everywhere right now. These chimpanzee ads ran Career Builder a steep $3.5 million. Luckily, they have avoided scandal after last years debacle with PETA saying the chimps were “stolen from their mothers as babies, threatened and beaten.” The chimps were brought back by “popular demand,” and were a very successful campaign for job seekers. This from Jennifer Grasz, CareerBuilder spokeswoman.

Here is a list of some of the Super Bowl ads and users are able to vote for their favorite and least favorite. It is interesting to see that CareerBuilder currently ranks highest in both categories. Having viewed it several times now, I have fallen into the least favorite camp. However, whether I love it or hate it, I am going to remember who's commercial it is and that is what matters in the end.
