TiVo Watches the Super Bowl

Boone^ writes: "While millions of people were seeing a tremendous football game, TiVo was busy collecting statistics about the Super Bowl viewing habits of its subscribers. Based on a random sampling of 10,000 of the 280,000 subscribers, they found out that Pepsi/Britney was the subject of the most replayed Ad(s), and not surprisingly the play that got the most attention was Vinatieri's game-winning FG."

Replaying the commercials

And we're shocked that the same male geeks who would actually fork over the money for TiVo enjoyed looking at Britney the most, too!

Brittany

We just replayed to see her tits bounce.

And to get the inside scoop on Britney, more specifically, her magically morphing chest, be sure to check out The Mystery of Britney Spears' Breasts! from our friends at Ifilm.com.

Let's see Katz do a review on that!

Tivo owners watch the Super Bowl?

Tivo owners watch the Super Bowl? But...but...sunlight, outdoors...sports...

I don't know, it doesn't seem right. Shouldn't they be downloading Linux or trying to destroy the WTO or something?

What's this world coming to...

It was held at night, indoors, and we were all watching Britney.

This is not a bad thing

I *want* tv companies to know what I like to watch, and advertisers to know that I almost always skip their adverts because they are dull and pointless.

I don't want them to know that the data comes from *me*, but I certainly have no objection to them knowing what is watched so maybe they'll make more programs I like.

This is a *good* thing.

I believe them when they say they only aggragate the data

Interested in buying a bridge? It's in great shape! We're moving and can't take it with us.

Re:Ads more popular than the game

[gowen]

My coworkers are big soccer (football) fans, and they use the Tivo to create their own instant replays, because unlike football, the networks don't really replay much for you

Not really the fault of the networks, soccer just doesn't have many of those stop-the-clock-while-everyone-stands-around-doing- fuck-all breaks that US Football does.

What process is going on in the heads of these people?

"Ooooh, breasts."

You clearly have a grossly exaggerated idea of your importance to the world if you think that TiVo is interested in what you, personally, watch on television. They have meds to treat conditions like yours.

Hell With That!

Did anyone fastforward through the game to watch the commercials?
