The ABCs Of The Super Bowl: Ads, Betting, And Consumption
It's that day again. Some will fast forward through the game and watch the commercials (Top 5 most viral Ads below); others will have a stadium-pal installed early and elasticated waist-bands; and many will win (or lose) a fortune based on any number of random permutations of path-wise dependent scoring. However, presented for your viewing pleasure, the only three infographics needed for today: Of Beer and Bathroom Breaks, Super Bowl Bingo (drinking game), and the History of Super Bowl Betting Lines. Go Niners...
Most Viral Super Bowl Ads Of All Time (via Bloomberg BusinessWeek):
1. "The Force" -- Volkswagen, 56,012,882 views
The most shared ad of all time. The six-year-old actor in the spot, Max Page, had never seen a 'Star Wars' movie before filming the now-iconic commercial.
2. "Sexy & I Know It" -- M&M's, 22,267,015 views
This commercial introduced a new M&M character in the form of Ms. Brown, voiced by Vanessa Williams.
3. "The Dog Strikes Back" -- Volkswagen, 16,452,106 views
Most reviews of the commercial cheered its healthy message, but questioned the inclusion of the tail segment connecting the dog with the Star Wars cantina.
4. "Imported From Detroit" -- Chrysler, 15,835,360 views
Got a lot of flack for allegedly touting President Obama's auto bailout (which, considering it was voiced by Clint Eastwood, is insane).
5. "Matthew's Day Off" -- Honda, 16,514,669 views
Teasers from the commercial led to rampant rumors that a sequel to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" was in production.

49's will get the GOLD
LOL that faint connection to PMs puts me in the Niners corner.
Pure talent beats pure emotion. Niners.
the niners are not really that good
Hows about move 'em to Paris and change the name to Sixty Niners?
Knuckes that was priceless. ;-)
"Pure talent beats pure emotion. Niners."
Cheesy Bastard the Paul Krugman of NFL calls. :)
Wow these creepy commercials are creepy.
And......
Game OVER
1:45 til the 1/2 time
Ed Reed knows how to run a defense.
On the flip side, Stallone bombs at the box office, while Warm Bodies, "billed as a paranormal romantic comedy.......with a zombie who rescues.......a girl from imminent death at the hands of his fellow undead. An unlikely romance develops, setting off an unforeseen chain of events"
"The film hit its target demo of younger females - the group least interested in the Super Bowl. Women and girls made up 60 percent of the audience, while 65 percent of those buying tickets were younger than 25."
Shades of the future?

And the lights are OUT in the dome..............way to go NOLA............BACKWARD!!!!
lol...HALF CIRCLE...just like a skeet shooting range.
What are the odds? ;-)
Well, I guess this was the only way to slow the momentum of the Ravens.
Laying on the ground and feigning injury must not be working anymore.
More than likely, this gives the NFL commish a chance to inform the zebra's that they need to call more flags against the Ravens so that the Gay Niners have a chance to win the game.
This is the worst called Super Bowl I've ever seen.
The 9'ers are a second half team.
With only a few exceptions, this year's Super Bowl commercials were the worst I've ever seen. Just not funny at all!
Halftie 50%?
In the good olde days instead of meaningless drivel probably accompanied by long deep subliminal programming following the Illuminati thick half time entertainment by one half (Oooops, half again as many times!) of the Offal Orifice's Foreign Policy team (The other half being Jay-Z... or have you all forgotten already as commanded by your Reptilian Overseers?) they, the Ubiquitous They, would have cut to a wonderful Three Stooges short or a classic Warner Brothers cartoon.
Thems was the Good Olde Days before we all knew...

PS. And in any case, this blackout is the reason that we have people fighting for democracy freedom and whatever all over the world... to make sure the lights don't go out... (snark)
Bounce' tripped over the plug on her way out ;-)
Plug?
What kinda plug?
Anonymous?????
Terrorists!!!

How many ZH accounts do you have man?
Too many.
Niners won't win with the blind officials. I've seen a head slap, offensive pass interference, and a double teamed offensive hold on the touchdown kick off run back all on the part of the Ravens. Nothing called by the officials. I'm a girl, and i could see it. So what's up with the refs?
Also, maybe next year the Super Bowl can be hosted by Haiti so that the lights will stay on.
They aren't known as the durty birds for nothing...
As to the lousy officiating...
You might want to investigate the pre-game controversy of the NFL's choice of a PC (politically correct) head official for the Super Bowl that most of the rest of the NFL referees said was not the best qualified by the NFLs own referee rating system and complained bitterly about to the NFL officials - only to fall on deaf ears. In response, the NFL brass just changed the chosen ref's ratings scores to make him look better.
It's f*cking dull, slow and spoonfed to a nation of overweight dimwits. Sorta like the democraps versus the repugnantcunts. Give me soccer anyday.
Take the Ravens and the points. +4.5 is too good to pass up.
who gives a fuck

Since my Chargers are defunct, I'll go long the Niners.(NFC) The old "Brownies" are good fun to watch, as well.
I'm going with who gives a shit, but hey to each his own. Enjoy the distraction..........
That comment carried some wisdom?
Exactly! Cannot stand sports, any of them. Do not have n Idiot Box anyhow, so I do not give a rat's ass who wins or loses. Bunch of greedy, overpaid Blootos. Cannot stand all of the fucking commercial interruptions. Big waste of time.
Why exactly? Why are you posting on this thread, if you so despise sports? You seem to be a rational individual?
Where is the written rule that everyone posting on a thread has to agree with the topic? I was replying to A Lunatic, who also said, in a roundabout way, that he despises sports. If every poster agreed with the subject, it would be a rather boring place to visit.
And, yeah. I am rational. I cannot stand sports. Motor Sports, Yes. NASCAR, NO!
Driving a car is a sport?
Do you work for GM?
I would love to toss you through a few "chicanes'" in my 599.
You like " Motor Sports"? Plus one in my book. I love Motor Sports! Formula 1 .
My favorite is drag racing. To my ears, nothing is more exciting sounding than a funny car or dragster running. Ever been in the pit area when they are running? Love it. Thunder Valley is near me, and my friends and I are there frequently during the warmer years. I have even pitted several times for a friend who owns an old classic front-engined rail.
Been to the strip in Ardmore Ok several times. What I like about strips in Oklahoma is parking for visitors is in the pits. No segregated parking like most of the ones I used to go to in CA.
After drag racing, Indy is my other real favorite. Especially when they are doing such things as the Long Beach Grand Prix. Racing on city streets, cool.
Who in their right mind would devote so much time, attention, and energy to the outcome of a fucking game? It defies comprehension........
