"Have Superbowl commercials gone too far?"

The commercials aired during the Superbowl are traditional, in a sense. Every year, large companies make short humorous ads in which to promote their products. The cost of the ads are very expensive. Ads typically display (but are not limited to): beer, soda, snacks, and cars. The majority audience is typically males who, I assume, want to eat and drink during the game. I think that the price of ads has gone too far. Has placing an ad during the Superbowl become a symbol of status?
