Web Rescues Un-Aired Super Bowl Ads

destinyland writes "A pirated version of Budweiser's un-aired Super Bowl ad appeared on YouTube — proving the Web is more democratic than NBC. The sexy PETA ad they refused to air also turned up on PETA's site; YouTube also had Saturday's skit from SNL, mocking the actual Pepsi ad that would air Sunday. But ironically, the Web site for Jack in the Box crashed right after they'd aired their cliffhanger about Jack's bus accident, prompting one critic to joke, 'Should we assume he's dead?'

    This past Sunday?

    I think it's safe to say that the overwhelming majority of NFL fans love a good burger or steak. If there's one downside to the internet, it's that it gives a voice to every whiny douchebag with a pet cause, no matter how insignificant that cause is. Of all the "injustices" in the world to complain about - people eating meat? Really? Get a fucking life.

    You forget that PETA is an extremist group. They're no different than, say, Iran, who have no direct terrorist ties, but they have some pretty damn questionable connections.

    Having grown up and lived on a mixed farm for 20+ years, I have been brainwashed and desensitized to animal murders.

    There, fixed that for you.

    How about Neither?

    Why argue for both, when neither also is acceptable.

    I don't want my daughters to become sexualized sluts at 13, any more than I want my boys to become homicidal maniacs. And just because you don't care doesn't mean I shouldn't either.

    Why is it that it always boils down to "lowest common denominator" and "how low can we go"? I'm sick of the race to the bottom.
