As the New England Patriots staged the most incredible comeback in Super Bowl history, finally beating the Atlanta Falcons by six points in overtime, companies also scored with some stunning Super Bowl advertising.
One of the standouts was AirBnB’s 30-second commercial titled We Accept which took a swipe a Donald Trump’s recent immigration action. The simple but effective message played over the changing faces of people from different minority groups: “We believe no matter who you are, where you’re from, who you love or who you worship, we all belong. The world is more beautiful the more you accept.”
84Lumber’s controversial ad featured a mother and daughter’s symbolic migrant journey toward becoming legal American citizens. The original commercial contains content deemed too controversial for the original ad and was banned from broadcast, as it commented on Trump’s proposed border wall.
The ad directed people to the 84Lumber Web site which subsequently crashed.
Watch the full commercial below.
