		<title>Super Bowl 2010: Monolith Found in Orbit around Jupiter, Intercepted by the Alexei Leonov in the Third Quarter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Instead of leading off with some thoughts about the commercials, I would like to begin by saying the remnants of The Who sounded pretty terrible at half time. I think it&#8217;s clear CBS decided that the band should play to level up their synergy with CSI: Miami (since their opening theme is Baba O&#8217;Riley) but [...]]]></description>

Buy this home or go rot


I really love this spot, thought it&#8217;s so perfect I had to doubt it was for a real company.  Cullman Liquidation Center does have a website, though my investigative effort ends there.  I&#8217;m not buying a mobile [...]]]></description>

Link to the :45 video, which will pop in a new window.








Take that free press


This well-done commercial calls attention to censor-mad Australia, whose government has apparently decided to wage war on free speech. Living in America, whose founding mission statement was freedom of speech, it&#8217;s hard to get a handle on such a similar nation [...]]]></description>

This would be like finding out terrorists struck the World Trade Center years before 2001.. Oh wait


Behold this creepy ad for a voluntary swine flu vaccine from the 70&#8217;s.
While the creepiness is timeless, the relevance comes from the recent 21st century outbreak, of which [...]]]></description>

Grapefruit.



This commercial for flu awareness, brought to you by the Southern Australia Council for Flu and Fast Food Regulation could not have hit the Internet at a better time.
Swine flu hysteria is all over the media, and this sticky commercial is spewing icing on [...]]]></description>

Not sure how someone was offended by this, but ok.


NBC Miami reports here that Mexico was so offended by this Burger King ad for the Texican Whopper that they ran and told on them to their ambassador to Spain.  I am supposing this [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Superest Bowl Yet: 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With advertising inventory reportedly still available a recently as a week ago, the 2009 Super Bowl ads threatened to be a mediocre lot at best.  Rumors of Cash4Gold buying a spot prompted thoughts of a text-over-stock-photo 500 dollar production running in a million dollar time slot.


Advertisements were indeed bland.  It&#8217;s kind of shameful [...]]]></description>
