Sporting Event Featuring Commercials

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-that-time-of-year-again dept.

Yes folks some sort of sporting event is occuring later today. Super something or other. And while I don't know what teams are playing, I believe that trailers for X-Men 2, and the first Matrix sequel are both supposed to air during the 2 million dollar 30 second ad spots. So this time around, you can tivo in reverse!

    However, it is legal to use "Super Bowl" in news coverage of the event. However, even if you are a media outlet doing news coverage, you can't use "Super Bowl" in, say, your advertising, unless you are an NFL sponsor. Thus, CBS, ABC, and FOX can use the phrase "Super Bowl" in their ads, but the other networks cannot (I'm not sure how cable nets, like TNN, ESPN, and Fox Sports Net are handled), Coors Light can but Budweiser cannot, Reebok can but Nike cannot, Cadillac can but Toyota cannot, Pepsi can but Coke can't and so forth.

  4. The US Govt Bought 2 Ads by iluvpr0n · · Score: 4, Informative

    Thankfully, the White House Drug Czar's office has seen fit to, again, buy *two* of these overpriced ad slots to propagandize about the evils of marijuana. What a perfect way to spend my tax dollars, thanks guys!

    NORML.org has a page up about this huge waste.
