One of the usual activities I do the day after the Super Bowl is discuss and analyze the commercials. For years, I taught a senior Communications class which had a big unit on advertising. I still enjoy this particular lesson.
One of the commercials we discussed was the Dunkin ad with Ben Affleck (among others). While explaining the Boston aspect to them – we have tons of Dunkins in NY but the kids didn’t realize how heavily New England a company it is – I pointed out former Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his significantly younger girlfriend.
Me: He’s 72. She is 24.
Student #1: Her frontal lobe isn’t fully developed yet!
Student #2: Nope, but the rest of her is!
(No shade intended. Love who you love. If everyone involved is safe and happy, more power to ya!)
