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?'
Watching PETA ads doesn't make me wanna become vegan. In fact, seeing those naked women just make me want to eat some meat, if you catch my drift.
Thanks for these very important updates on how we should be manipulated! I was kind of feeling like I was thinking a bit too much on own, but finally I get some more ads to dull the senses and reinforce that conformity!
Let me know when there is a spoof of the PETA ad featuring bacon instead of vegetables.
Go green: turn off your refrigerator.
It was those damn Puritans that the English sent over. They screwed the country up for everyone. I for one would rather see naked women on TV than another "terrorist" getting whacked or car exploding.
"Hmm. I am to metaphor cheese as metaphor cheese is to transitive verb crackers!"
Did the industries scheme to demonize copyright infringement backfire?
If they scream piracy at everything, then the word piracy will dilute until it doesn't really mean anything.
This might already have happened.
Good. Then I'm going to the fridge to pirate myself something to eat.
It's simple. The human body is evil. Unless it's been shot or otherwise maimed.
The USA does that too, sort of. I think it's around half time they let the 'locals' air what ever ads they want. Which is a good thing, because it lead to the best superbowl ad I've ever seen.
That tops anything the big companies put on, if not just for the "WTF did I just see" factor.
