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.

Damn. If we paid the bills they'd probably leave the lights on. Fuck you Timmy!
Not watching either, but a friend just informed me the lights went out at the Dome. ROFLMAO!
Reminds me of that McDonalds ad in German tv decades ago:
<famous German showmaster> speaking from inside a crowded McDonalds, everyone is eating or carrying loaded trays: "Surveys show that 47% of people only go to McDonalds to pickup their family members, 34% to meet their friends, .., "
Was a good joke on the subconcious German sentiment along the lines 'McDonalds is so unhelathy etc., I cannot admit I'm really going out to eat there.'
You sound like them
Whatever.
heh...as several billion eyes turn to watch the pinnacle of the essence of these Great Uited States....the lights go out...

What? You mean solar doesn't work at night? Shit!
Sure it works, you just need to switch the wires, duh!
Probably using Solyndra panels and A123 batteries...
What does everyone here do in there free time? I love sports playing and watching. I also love being informed about what's going on in the world. Zero hedge is first thing I check out every morning. So if everyone here hates sports, what do you do for fun. Or is having fun not acceptable?

Yes the übermen tonight are taking great pride in telling us how much better than human they are. Nothing wrong with enjoying the circus.
If you love being informed about what's going on in the world then you are
A) A fucking psychopath,
B) A liar
C) You are NOT informed.
NFL and sponsors under boycott here
I wish Rod Serling was around to narate this fucked up reality
Epic strangeness.
"Circuses" are fine in a healthy society.
Now, much of the world sees the hypocrisy.
And a power outage -- that is symbolism of the epic kind.
PooperHole!
So, I'm confused. Will this mean that O-Blammo will next ban electricity or stadium events, or something altogether different?
Ok, I'll admit it...that Budwiser commercial brought a tear to my eye.
