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!

    For those of us in the military overseas, we will be watching the game on the Armed Forces Network (AFN). Due to a variety of issues, no commercials are aired on AFN which means we miss out on what could potentially be the more entertaining part of the game.

    If someone with a really kind heart could encode the commercials and post them on the internet, we would be very appreciative. Last year wasn't so bad as we do get Fox, although tape delayed by two weeks, so we could watch the commercials when it re-aired. This year, there will be no avenue for us to see the game as we would in America.

    Thanks in advance.
