These are two more Super Bowl ads that received a 96% favorable rating from the viewing audience, which made them two of the more popular ads shown during the big game. The first ad shows a business using carrier pigeons instead of FedEx to ship merchandise and is quite clever and very funny.
The second ad shows Alice Cooper and Richard Simmons, not a very likely combination, in a Bridgestone
Pepsi came up with two terrific Super Bowl ads that are both clever and funny, although recommending the product they are touting in the first ad would be a challenge. The ad is pushing Diet Pepsi Max, which includes ginseng extract and an increased amount of caffeine, all of which is designed to keep you awake.
Basically they are selling uppers, which is not illegal, but is it ethical for Pepsi

While I was whooping and hollering over the final touch down by the Giants on Super Bowl Sunday I got a twitter from Chiropractic, a fellow Twitterer obviously as ecstatic as I was. It was quite cool to connect with someone in another part of the continent excited over an event we were both watching... it was kind of surreal.Apparently getting a Twitter or two was a very common occurence during the Super Bowl. In fact, Twitter decided to plot the spikes in Twitter traffic during the Super Bowl with some cool results. As it turned out there was a spike in traffic during every critical point within the game. Click on the chart to see the larger more revealing version.As an aside, I just have to say that I love social media! It is such an amazing medium and it just seems to grow and grow as leaders in thought conceptualize new methods of utilizing it; new social properties seem to launch weekly or even daily. In fact, I find it overwhelming trying to keep a grasp on this medium so I welco
Eli Manning pulls Giants win, Tom Brady and Patriots lose NFL Super Bowl The New York Giants' thrilling win over the New England Patriots was the most-watched Super Bowl ever, with 97.5 million viewers, Nielsen Media Research said Monday.The game eclipsed the previous Super Bowl record of 94.08 million, set when Dallas defeated Pittsburgh in 1996. More people watched Sunday's game than all but one American television broadcast ever, the "M-A-S-H" finale in 1983, which was seen by 106 million viewers.Related StoriesSuper-Mann: Giant QB Keys Upset Over Pats'Super' Shock: Giants Upset PatsSpyGate Date: NFL Chief, Senator to MeetPatriots Are Perfect No MoreTop ESPN Sports storiesSpyGate Date: NFL Chief, Senator to MeetClemens Pitches Case on Steroids, HGHCollege Hoops Icon Bob Knight ResignsThe game had almost all the ingredients Fox could have hoped for: a tight contest with an exciting finish involving a team that was attempting to make history as the NFL's first unbeaten tea
Despite costing nearly $3 million just to air, a barrage of Super Bowl ads managed to be not just unfunny or uninformative but aggressively unpleasant, clawing at viewers' attention with nothing more clever than national or racial stereotypes, anatomical gross-outs or baldly implausible claims. That American corporations waste money so visibly is, by now, unsurprising. But it can be fascinating
Well another Super Bowl has come and gone here in the United States. This year, (for a change maybe) the game was actually really exciting and there were even some decent commercials to keep everything engaged as well. The halftime show was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and I thought they put [...]

I had to post one of my favorites. Being a mother of 3 kids means that I have a few back seat drivers. Every time there is a squirrel on the road and it looks as if I am going to hit it...the squirrel seems to get out of the way. Makes me happy that I did not add to the road kill numbers! My kids always ask me, "Mom did you hit it? Did it get out of the way?" So when I saw this commercial I laughed so hard it brought tears to my eyes and my belly ached! Here is the link to the commercial...I hope you find it as entertaining as I did! It is titled "SCREAM" Since I am still pretty new at this blog thing I have to put a link for your viewing pleasure. Please view the commercial by clicking on this link.
Today's COTD is from the Little Fella's column in the Freep. His ode to the Giants winning the Super Bowl brings the Freep's commenting wingnuts out in force.The following pithy thought from kj1975 is one of the few that didn't have any of the over the top hate the Patriots tend to bring out in most internet types...Impossible? Try predictable, because that is what is was. Cheaters never win.I think kj1975 forgot about the Patriots' 3 previous Super Bowl wins. Cheaters do win, at least 3 out of 4 times.Tell you the truth, the main reason I picked the comment from a Super Bowl column was to give me an excuse to post my random and scattered thoughts about our unofficial national holiday.1. Tom Petty rocked, despite what what the majority of the blogosphere claimed. Then again, I'm biased, owning damn near everything Tom Petty has ever recorded. I'm also of a vastly different music generation, being older than your typical snot-nosed 20-something sports blogger. Your typical sports blogge

The problem with calling something one of “The Greatest” is that it takes reflection. This game, the last drive, Eli’s amazing escape, David Tyree’s amazing catch, and the Giants defensive output will be looked back upon with deep toned voice overs for years to come as some of the greatest moments in football history.

I think I might be more excited about Super "Duper" Tuesday than today's Super Bowl. I mean, don't get me wrong. I am excited to watch tonight's game and will be rooting for the Giants wholeheartedly to beat the seemingly indomitable Patriots, but there's something about the hype leading up to Tuesday's primaries that I'm finding electrifying. I guess I'm just more of a political animal.Last week I mailed in my absentee ballot for New York's Democratic Primary. Rather than walk over to the polling site for my district (which is only about 2 blocks away), I decided to complete the process by mail so I wouldn't have to go over there wearing my surgical mask and deal with neighbors and such.Why Tuesday Won't Be So SuperWhy I'm Backing ObamaWhy Republicans Like ObamaRace Matters.

Everyone’s got a boner over the super bowl. I'm sorry but I just don’t care. Personally I think foot ball is a blatantly homo erotic sport. Think about it. A bunch of guys running around in spandex chasing and tackling each other. Hell, when they score they grab each other’s asses. Sounds pretty gay to me. But what the fuck do I know.-O.T.
The gorgeous Carmen Electra debuted her new Ice Breakers Ice Cubes commercial yesterday during a premiere party at Hershey’s Times Square store in Manhattan.

People seem to be somewhat excited about this Super Bowl for once. Maybe it’s just because it is extending the New York vs. Boston sports rivalry into another sport, or because it features teams that play in two of the biggest media markets in the country. Or maybe it’s because Tom Brady [...]
This Sunday most people will be staying at home or heading to a Super Bowl party which leaves the roads and highways wide open. If you are not a football fan Super Bowl Sunday is just about the best day of the year to head out on a day trip. Last year we went to see the USS Midway Aircraft Museum in San Diego. The drive from Orange County to San Diego can take up to three hours on a normal day. We made the trip down to the museum in under one and a half hours. The freeway was wide open and average speed 80 miles an hour. Parking was a breeze and thier was no waiting for a bay front table at Anthony's Fish Grotto for lunch. For a desert day trip a good bet is the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway >. If you decide to go be sure to bring warm clothing there is plenty of snow on top of the San Jacinto mountains this time of the year. North of Los Angeles a trip to the Santa Barbara Zoo should be possible with minimal traffic. If you can drag your partner away from the the TV Super Bowl Sunday

Note: the French version of this recipe is here on La cuisine de Babeth.Hey, Sunday it's the big sport day, at least in the US! It's the Super Bowl! Well to be very honest with you, I was never a big fan of football while living in the US, but I must admit I always watched the Super Bowl. Not because of touchdowns or quarterbacks but for 2 reasons:1- it always a great excuse to come to a party or throw one, BBQ with beers and finger foods.2- for the never seen before tv ads.If you keen on have more info about the rules here's a great article.On internet there's a lot of Super Bowl recipes, starting with cookies or cakes, or finger foods. Even Heidi (great cookbook's author and food blog's author) post a little recipe: her guacamole.Let me give you my own recommendation, finger food style guacamole: a guacamole flan.I made it in September for my friend Emmanuelle's farewell party. It's super easy, but use a real blender instead of a hand mixer, or you will need to wear you swimsuit i

And much like the great explorer, starship captain Jean-Luc Picard, all I can think of is...God, no. Not this SHIT again...I'm going to make a pledge right now. I'm going to IGNORE all the over-the-top, utterly ludicrous, mind-numbing, IQ dropping media bullshit that goes along with the 3 ring circus (Because it sure as HELL isn't about the football game!) that is the Super Bowl.The asinine media day is is just to tip of the hype iceberg.I'm ignoring the pissing match between the 2 most obnoxious and entitled fanbases in all of sport, the fans of New York and Boston. I'm not going to read flamebait articles by New York, Boston and national sports writers, who use nothing but clichés to compare those 2 obnoxious and entitled fanbases. Living in what the east coast media elite call a fly over state, I don't give a flying fuck about those 2 obnoxious and entitled fanbases, and 99% of the country doesn't give a flying fuck either.I'm not going to watch the endless Super Bowl self promotio

Super Bowl 39. In Eagles fans memories, it goes down as the one they let get away. Everybody remembers how turnovers were crucial mistakes, and how the Eagles apparently forgot how to run the 2 minute offense at the end of the game down ten points.This painful memory still haunts Philadelphia fans today. Some still seek answers, as to what went wrong in the big game, and many choose not to relive that game ever again. I don't blame them. Until now.The news has come out, that the New England Patriots are cheaters. In a nasty scandal dubbed "Spygate", the Patriots were caught red handed, stealing defensive signals from their opponent.Many ask now, how long has this been going on?Who knows. Many teams have accused the Pats of doing this very thing before, but there has never been any hard evidence until now. Hopefully more details can be dug up.I am sure Eagles fans only want to know one thing.Did the Patriots cheat in the Super Bowl?That is an answer that nobody will probably ever know,
No devastating injuries. No holdouts or contract gripes. No hesitations. No excuses.That's a Super Bowl team. That's the Philadelphia Eagles. That's how Brian Dawkins sees it."Every year you go into it, some teams in the NFL have a realistic shot at going to the Super Bowl," the Eagles' all-world free safety said via cell phone earlier this week. "I believe we're one of those teams, as long as we stay healthy."Just in case he didn't make himself clear, Dawkins repeated his stance."If everybody plays at a high level, we'll be in the Super Bowl again," he continued. "Our minds are to get back into the Super Bowl."..read more at The News Journal>>
Donovan McNabb is much more respected elsewhere judging by the comments of a couple of Pro Bowl talents helping the quarterback at his All-Star Kids Football Clinic Saturday.Like in his hometown of Chicago, for example.Chicago Bears Pro Bowl defensive tackle Tommie Harris went overboard in his praise of McNabb. Bears quarterback Rex Grossman, super sensitive about his ability, can expect to be cross-examined when the news reaches the Windy City.“Donovan is a great guy, he’s a positive guy,” Harris said. “And I’d love to have him as my quarterback in Chicago.“I know if he comes to the Chicago Bears, we can win the Super Bowl. If he comes to Chicago, we can definitely win the Super Bowl.”[Read more at DelcoTimes]
