Unlike Hulu & YouTube, it appears that the Facebook microsite for the ads already has a lot of them (all of them?) online.

Suddenly I have no need to watch except sporadically, if that much. This bodes well for my pursuit of a Calder/Stanley double in NHL '11

So far the commercials have been underwhelming. The Doritos one with the dog was beyond obvious.

rjolley · 02-06-2011, 06:04 PM

Speaking of Doritos, did they get a bulk deal on commercial time?

General Mike · 02-06-2011, 06:12 PM

So what was the reason for penalty on Collins' TD? They said it was because he went to the ground? but they never showed anything besides the dive into the end zone.

MJ4H · 02-06-2011, 06:16 PM

Yeah, he went down on his knees in an excessive display. He was down there showing out for awhile.

That as one of the worst anthem performances ever. She is such a joke.

Suburban Rhythm · 02-06-2011, 06:17 PM

After the dive he ran over to the middle of the end zone and dropped to his knees. I didn't think that was getting the call, I assumed it was the 3 guys diving on him was going to GE considered a " team celebration "

EagleFan · 02-06-2011, 06:21 PM

How did they give him that spot? He came back on his own after catchng the ball and wasn't touched by the defender until he was short of the first down.

Was unexpected. I was prepared for corny and that he was going to end up sending the flowers to Faith.

Oh, I do like that the comercial for the "droid pad" used an old Apple theme to their commercial.

I thought the "You hit Reply All" commercial was funny, mainly due to the recent discussion about people doing that on this forum.

Both GM & Ford are working on expanding hands-free functionality with apps.

GM says it is developing a voice communications app for Android mobile phones that will let drivers send and receive text messages and Facebook updates using only their voices. The app uses a Bluetooth connection between drivers' phones and their vehicles.

GM's voice-activated Android system converts incoming SMS text messages and Facebook updates from text to synthetic speech with the app. The messages are then sent via Bluetooth to the car's speakers. Drivers can respond by voice through the in-vehicle microphone by selecting among a list of defined messages, such as "Yes," "No," and "Driving." It is also possible for the system to memorize custom messages, which are transcribed into text or posted as audio clips on Facebook, GM said. For Facebook updates, the driver can say "Like" to like a friend's update.

JonInMiddleGA · 02-06-2011, 07:03 PM

I think this was mentioned up the thread but I don't recall seeing a final word on it.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- For those interested in such things, we’ve had two significant hiccups here at Cowboys Stadium as kickoff approaches for Super Bowl XLV.

First, the NFL closed four of the 10 entrance points into the stadium because of lingering ice on the roof of the stadium. Friday, six people were injured by ice falling onto the sidewalk outside of the structure.

Second, the NFL just confirmed in a statement that some sections of the temporary seats erected inside Cowboys Stadium "have not been fully completed." The league said that most fans will be accommodated somewhere in the building by kickoff, but indicated that some will not. Those fans will receive a refund triple the cost of face value of the seat.

Local organizers are trying to break the Super Bowl record for attendance by exceeding 105,000. Maybe they were a bit too greedy. Can you imagine arriving at the stadium and finding out that your seat doesn’t exist?

Just shows how stupid consumers are. Will roll my eyes next time I hear people whining about high gas prices.

Philliesfan980 · 02-06-2011, 07:05 PM

I hate the Steelers, but the Packers are going to poop their pants in the second half. It's inevitable. Their defense had that deer in the headlights look in that last series.

Passive vs active activity. Same reason why listening to the radio is not the same as talking on the phone no matter how people try to make false equivalencies.

Hopefully that's just because most of their defense was in the locker room getting fixed up so they can play in the second half.

Fonzie · 02-06-2011, 07:07 PM

How the Pack D does in the second half will hinge heavily on how many of their injured secondary players return. Collins should return, but I worry about Shields and Woodson.

Philliesfan980 · 02-06-2011, 07:10 PM

Is there anything more stupid that the halftime concert? Between the lackluster choices to actually do the show, to the fake fans who have to act a certain way. It's quite frankly the stupidest part about the whole event.

This.

If only 1 of the 3 can return, advantage Steelers. Green Bay hasn't gotten very much pressure so far.

Philliesfan980 · 02-06-2011, 07:13 PM

Wow... I don't even know what to say.
