Nordlinger observes:
At the end of the halftime show, they displayed the words “World Peace.” They never, ever say “World Freedom,” do they? Never.
In a different vein, Nordlinger notes the music used in Super Bowl commercials:
1) I wish Beethoven could know they were using his music to sell Coca-Cola during the Super Bowl. (“Coca-Cola? Super Bowl?”) (The music was from his Fifth Symphony.)
2) There was a hint of Wagner in a Lexus commercial. (A motif from The Ring.)
3) There was Verdi in a Doritos commercial. (“La donna è mobile,” from Rigoletto.)
4) There was Bach in a Time-Warner Cable commercial. (C-major prelude from Book I of The Well-Tempered Clavier.)
